Wednesday 8th June 1983

The Corvette plant produced a new 1984 model Corvette, with build order “DE 9163 ZORA 1”. The car was identified on the build sheet as model ZORA 1, not a Corvette. The car was a standard 1984 model Corvette, other than the non-standard exterior colour, code 33 Spectra Red. The car was introduced at the Black Hills Corvette Classic event in Spearfish, South Dakota, in July, with Zora Arkus-Duntov posing for publicity photos and videos.
