Description
Although it shares the same name as the Custom Corvette from 1968 it is completely different. It is based on the C4 Corvette ZR-1 Convertible. The base reads "83' Custom Corvette".
The Hot Wheels version debuted in 1989 and was discontinued in the 1999 Final Run Series, after 11 years in production. Although it was officially discontinued in 1999, in 2000 a strange version similar to the 1998 Tropi-Cool Series (except with no tampos) was released only in Mexico.
It was also produced in India by 'Leo' in the early 1990's, these versions are hard to find.
