I wonder if the 2012 HHR owners park them next to their 1983 Corvettes?

 

I once owned a 1984 Corvette with Cease...er I mean Cross Fire Injection. I actually never had any problem with that car in the time I owned it but the 82 and 84 known to have problems with the fuel injection. There actually were 43 pre production Corvettes built but never released for the 1983 year. For whatever reason only one remains. It's in the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. All the rest were ordered destroyed.

 

DB you got that right. A little story here. It was 1995. I was living in California at that time. I built the nicest bike with the best parts available on the market at the time. I go to the DMV to register the bike and I give the person the paperwork, bills of sale MSO's etc. after she entered it in the computer system that they had at that time she asks me "what kinda motorcycle is it" I tell her well its a Harley Davidson. My registration and title both claimed it to be 1995 HD. Probably a lot harder to get that by them today that the industry is not so new. Just goes to show ya never overestimate what the person on the other side of the counter knows or not. Their just folks doing a job.

 

Not sure if it's still this way, but in Michigan if you were building a kit car, you could call it whatever you wanted, and make it whatever year you wanted. There are a lot of T-buckets in MI titled as 1923, even though there is not a single part on them made in 1923.

I also have seen a 1974 Palmieri Speedster, a one off hand built replica of a boattail Auburn.

 

Was that the one at the bottom of the sink hole?
They could sell a new 2011 in 2012 or 2013 if it had not been titled before, it's the title that makes it "used". That's why the warranties date from "first title date". If a dealer was closed down and his inventory was "liquidated" the cars would probably get titled to a resale company in order to be auctioned off as used no/low mileage used cars.


blah blah blah I'm bored.

 

The '83' was not amongst the 8 that fell in. Last I heard, they've pulled six of them out and 1992 1.5 millionth Corvette and the 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 are still in the hole. As one would expect, the ones they pulled out are pretty beat up.
