Re: Mini Petrol Powered Corvette 'Go-Kart' For Sale (7ft Long) On UK Ebay

There have been many cars that have been started late in the model year, 
such as the '64-1/2 Mustang, the '70 Corvette, and so on.

However, the '83 Corvette passed all of the 1984 requirements for the EPA 
and DOT and so was certified as a 1984 model car.

Otherwise, they would have had to certify for the 1983 regulations, build 
the 1983 model year until summer, certify another set for the 1984, and 
begin building the '84 model run.

It saved a lot of money by simply certifying for 1984 and building only
1984 
models only.

Our government at work.

I think there is also a regulation, buried deep in history, that each
model 
year must change from the previous, to help distinguish model year
vehicles, 
if only so slightly.  So they would have had to build 6 months, then 
redesign something, produce those parts, and build again.

While many C4 Corvettes look identical, they all have changes.
