Mhm. This how I roll:
I approve this message!! LOL
Oh the humanity! If you are every in/near Bowling Green KY it is worth stopping by this museum- very cool. Most of the vehicles here are on loan by the actual owner/collector. Each car has a little plaque telling a story behind the car. You might see something like this next to a 30 year old classic still having the sticker on the window:
"Purchased new by Joe Blow from 'X' dealership in 1965. Driven home & kept in garage ever since. Rubbed with a diaper cloth once a month. 300 original miles."
Luckily none of the Vettes destroyed were owned by private collectors.

I haven't been there since shortly after they opened, it was a good time back then... Sucks to see this. Glad they were able to get the '83 out..
And hey, at least it wasn't on the other side of the street and swallowed up part of the plant...

to my knowledge, they made the prototype car but never made production for that year.
therefore the only car made in 1983
