Very cool. Thanks for sharing. One of the things I love most about the C4 is how it became a true road car. It could take the twisty roads with the best of them.
I am so glad they canned those wheels the white '83 is wearing.
The turbines are worlds better IMO. Certainly a polarizing topic, the early C4 wheels.

Maybe someone from the museum or plant will chime in but the story of how the car got saved is quite interesting. I am too far removed to get it right but it was hidden in the woods near the plant and found by the plant manager. Come on NCM lets hear the rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say.

BTW, Roy jokingly claims his '84 is an '83, based upon the early production date!
