Default Was there a C4 concept car?

Does anyone have any names or links to the concept car/s that played a role in the C4 design?

I found this:

http://www.corvettereport.com/corvet...etting-part-8/

So called AstroVette b the designs are from mid to late 60s. Was there a concept from the 70s that became the C4? Looking for some concept or prototype names, aliases stuff like that. Motor names too would work. Thanks!

There were a bunch. Get yourself a copy of "The Newest Corvette, A to Z51" and there are a lot of pictures of the various prototype designs.

Man, thanks! Found a couple on fleBay, just placed my order! I'm ALL about digital, tech, paperless but can't beat an old school book like that.

For sure! There are quite a few pics of mocked up interiors too. Some aren't bad...some are very typical of the times (almost look early '80's Cadillac'ish) and some were...

After seeing them all, I feel they chose the best of the options (shown)...even if some have not loved it. You'll enjoy the read. Lots of good tech about design, power train and structure.
