By the way, has anyone ever seen the 1979 Light Blue Vette or 1982 Silver Green Metallic? Anyone have any pics of the 1 1983 Vette?
Here are pics of the '83 vette

Wanted to let everyone know that my brother-in-law just purchased this car in Danville IL. We have verified the color code. Wish I could post a picture for you, but I have posted a picture of it on my facebook page. Look me up Diana Brockett Gilpin. I have made it a public picture.

I think the forum rules allow revivals if it brings significant new info to the table, unlike 99% of the usual disinterments. Makes sense to me.

Hi,

This was my Silver Green car. I was at Frederick. Still have.

Does anyone know the full trim tag on it? What color interior? Auto or manual?

Just to be sure we could spot a fake car if we see any that so rarely show up there is not even a picture of one.

Here is a picture of one of our groups "one of 92" which he bought from another in our group that also owned the "one of 25" C4 convertibles. Kind of a round about way to get to a small picture though.. http://northtexascorvettesforfun.com...nails/b4f0.jpg ... Interesting thread ..

Yes on the 1979 Light Blue I currently own one I found in a barn find the owner was the first and only owner until I bought it in spring 2019 the owner Parked it in 1997 and never drove it again I was really surprised when I realized what it was and got a heck of a deal on it I was able to start it the day I bought it and towed it home due to not knowing the condition of brake lines and all the good stuff so after a really good look over its back on the streets in Illinois where I daily drive it.

I saw a maybe ~79 Green on green Z/28 when I worked at a car parts store around 1985. Cool car but terrible colors.
