the only remaining 1983 vette, because all forty-three 1983 test mules were ordered crushed, but this unit survived due to the mobile car crusher being inadvertently removed a day early.

  1. We saw that at the Corvette museum a few years ago. I've never seen those wheels on any production Corvette.

  2. If it was ordered crushed does that mean there is no valid VIN?

    1. you can get an answer by asking the museum.... but it's a test mule, so, does GM give their test mules a VIN? Heck if I know. Probably. So, why would they try and remove a VIN before crushing? They wouldn't, it would not make sense to waste any effort to remove a VIN when the car is going to get crushed.

  3. Road & Track had a story about this 1983 Corvette. GM was going to install these 15" wheels on base model cars, but they decided to put 16" wheels on all Corvettes starting in 1984.
