Yeah I remember Jim letting me drive his. With the T-tops out and windows down it didn't even blow your hair around. No wonder Bert always looked so Kool.

I bought a 1987 Cadillac Allante' a few months ago, and with a total production 3,363 I would say that it is somewhat rare, but that didn't add any value. I paid $2,700 (they sold for around $55,00 when new) for it and it was in pretty decent condition.

10-15 years from now, maybe.
Rare C4. About 25 years from now. Or more.

Projects might be rare, but it is doubtful very many will be scrapped or wrecked.

Isn't there half an 83 too? Didn't they make 50?

Were all the 83s made the same color? If not did they just choose the white one for historical purpose?

Nope, more than one made, but only one survives.

I have one (1983) but I've been sworn to secrecy by GM. They told me to never tell anyone about it. I'll keep my promise. I never tell ANYONE about my 1983 Corvette. I won't even mention it here on this forum. NEVER!
