Custom Corvette Convertible

==Description==
This is a depiction of a fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a Greenwood Phase 2 bodykit; compared to the older '80's Corvette this casting is significantly wider and larger.
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 Mattel in the early 1990s; these versions are hard to find.
This casting has typically been released under the name of Custom Corvette. There are various names that can be found on the base, such as 83' Custom Corvette, Custom Corvette, Corvette Stingray or no name at all.
==Versions==
The Custom Corvette has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
