Firsts and lasts
I ran across this page showing not only the first C4 but also the very last C4. They disassembeled the assembly line right behind building this one plus it also said it had the last LT1 built at the Flint, Mich engine plant installed in it too:
"An interesting side note to the last C4's build is that while the Corvette assembly was completed on a specific component, a crew following the car disassembled the line equipment literally feet behind the Corvette, leaving no doubt this was the final C4 to make its assembly line run. It's also significant that the engine is truly the last LT1 to come from the Flint, Michigan, engine lant. From now on, LS1 engines will come from GM's Romulus, Michigan, plant. A tag on the engine pallet containing the last LT1 says it all. "After 41 years - The End."

Re: Firsts and lasts (Lord_Auric)
Did it say where that last C4 went? I assume GM.
