jarhead590 Apr 24th, 09, 8:36 PM Hey everyone, I have a 83 vette w/ small block still in it ( Vette wrecked on driver side ) is there a way to identify what motor it is ? Dave427 Apr 24th, 09, 8:43 PM They didn't make a 83 Vette. Well there is one' its at a Museum at Bowling Green Ky. Dave Mike Apr 24th, 09, 8:59 PM 43 of the 44 1983 C4 Corvettes were destroyed. The one remaining car, number 23 (white), was retired to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY where it is now on display. It is still owned by GM. source: http://www.web-cars.com/corvette/1983.php 1982 & 1984 had the 200hp L-83 engine. jarhead590 Apr 24th, 09, 10:05 PM My bad I just used the year from tailights, Door data plate ruined. Its actually an 86. ( Just hit me upside the head .. I'll be OK) Mike Apr 24th, 09, 10:10 PM RPO L-98 engine code - 230hp@4000rpm - 330tq@3200rpm jarhead590 Apr 24th, 09, 10:19 PM Thanks MIKE for the web site info. LeoP Apr 25th, 09, 1:22 PM source: http://www.web-cars.com/corvette/1983.php 1982 & 1984 had the 200hp L-83 engine. Actually, according to the tour guide, they were all white with red interiors, just like the 53 model year cars. pdq67 Apr 25th, 09, 3:10 PM Dam, I thought that '83 'Vette engine was going to be worth a FORTUNE once it hit ebay! pdq67 grandsport Apr 25th, 09, 9:25 PM My dad had a 52 corvette .I wish he would have taken some pictures of it!:yes: pdq67 Apr 26th, 09, 1:34 PM I do have a documented '66 Camaro!! pdq67 Dave Birdwell Apr 26th, 09, 9:29 PM I do have a documented '66 Camaro!! pdq67 Paul, are those rarer than a '57 Impala?? ;) novaderrik Apr 26th, 09, 10:45 PM Paul, are those rarer than a '57 Impala?? ;) some states title a car based on when the car was originally sold- so if Paul got his car in the fall of '66, it would be titled as a '66 model. so i'm sure there are probably a few '57 Impalas and '52 and '83 Vettes running around out there.. pdq67 Apr 26th, 09, 11:27 PM No, not at all, b/c I ordered my car in Oct, '66 and got it in early Dec. '66! pdq67 | ||
