1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition 43k Miles Why This Car Is
Special We have a great looking, low mileage of 43k, rare 1982
Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition here today at Skyway Classics.
It is one of only 6,759 commemorative cars built before General
Motors shut the books on the C3. For many enthusiasts and critics
alike, the 1982 Collectors Edition Corvette was the best C3 of them
all. David McLellan stated that it was �€�a unique combination of
color, equipment and innovation resulting in one of the most
comprehensive packages ever offered to the Corvette buyer.�€� 1982
Corvettes were a special year because it was the first year
Corvettes were built at the new 1-million-square-foot plant in
Bowling Green, Kentucky plant only. Features 1982 Chevrolet

wing Mechanical The 1982 Corvette had two engineering advances, the
Cross-Fire Injection and a 4-Speed automatic transmission with
overdrive fourth gear. Cross-fire injection was new under the hood
and it had dual throttle-body fuel injectors that added to overall
improved acceleration for 1982. Ours has that engine that looks

9.0 to 1 so it will use regular gas, has a low-back-pressure dual
exhaust system, free-flowing monolith catalytic converter, a
conventional snorkel with new hood that ducts outside air directly
into the air cleaners during wide-open throttle operation through a
solenoid-controlled door which opens on signal. It has the factory
correct cleaner lid, cast black finned valve covers, power
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes with dual hydraulic circuits
and brake warning light, computer control system, as well as an
auxiliary electric engine cooling fan and rides on performance

Tires. Interior The interior is arguably more interesting than the
exterior. The metallic leather seat package that was optional on
late-C3s is taken one step further with a multi-tone fade on the
seats and doors. It is loaded with standard features and options
like power windows, power locks, a power driver's seat, power
mirrors, a tilt/telescopic steering column, cruise control,
electric rear defrost, air conditioning, Tinted glass, T-tops that
you can store, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo radio system. Exterior
It has the striking Collector Edition paint scheme that looks like
somewhere between metallic shades of silver and champagne with the
factory naming it Silver Beige. This unique paint stands out in
public and still looks ex
