1984 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Manufacturer Promo
The first new Chevrolet Corvette in 15 years popped up in early 1983 as a 1984 model. Lighter, smaller, and much cleaner than the old “shark”, it arrived at $21,800 – up a cool $3510 – with a 205 horse “Cross-fire” 350 V-8 and a “4+3” manual or automatic transmission. Sales zoomed to 51,547.
Good ideas in the 1984 Corvette included an easy access clamshell hood, practical lift up “glassback”, one piece targa top, a more sophisticated all-independent suspension, and a stiff, Lotus-like backbone frame. Body panels were again made of fiberglass, but were hung on a strong new “birdcage” inner structure. Styling was recognizably Corvette, but was less histrionic and more aerodynamically efficient. Zero to 60mph took about seven seconds.
