A Defining Moment in Corvette History
When Chevrolet unveiled the 1984 Corvette, it wasn’t just a redesign — it was a revolution. After skipping public release of the 1983 model year, the C4 generation burst onto the scene with cutting-edge engineering, digital instrumentation, and sleek aerodynamics that reimagined America’s sports car for a new era.
And now, the very first production-numbered Corvette of that generation — VIN #000001 (1G1AY078XE5100001) — is up for auction. Online bids are being accepted now, and in-person bidding starts Saturday, November 8th, 2025 at 10am Eastern. (See link below)
