This one stickered out at $24,452 with it's extra options.

The Collector Edition: Not only is it loaded with every option. It also has several features not available on any other Corvette- the wheels, opening hatch window, upgraded carpet and much more. It has a sophisticated color scheme too.

EXTERIOR: Very handsome car, I've always loved the lines on the 80- 82. Unique colors and fade away stripes were only available on the Collector Edition. The body is mint, the original paint still looks practically new. It also has unique bronze tinted glass tops. Unique wheels made similar to the 1967 wheel. The original tires look like new. The glass, weatherstrips, bumpers, wheels all look practically new. The power antenna works.

INTERIOR: All original and practically like new. The same color scheme continues inside, multi color seats and door panels. All leather seats, not just the centers like other Vettes. It also has a leather wheel and unique leather horn button. The thicker premium carpet continues on the lower door panels and center console. The console trim is a smokey bronze to match. It's loaded with every option, and they all appear to be functional. It also has a factory CB radio! The cigarette lighter and ashtray were not used. It is practically like new inside.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The first fuel injected Vette since 1965 and the first ever electronic fuel injection. The 350 motor is # matching, every component is original. It has been very well cared for because it looks new and it's 41 years old!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The glass window pops open from inside; this is a first for a Corvette. It has wall to wall thick carpet and has a retractable sunshade inside.

UNDERSIDE: It's an extremely well-preserved survivor undercarriage. Actually, it's one of the cleaner ones I've seen. They did a little bit of maintenance as needed. It still has it's original exhaust with catalytic converter and GM date coded mufflers. Independent suspension front and back, it still has assembly line markings and tags in places. There are disc brakes at all four wheels. The fiberglass floors are excellent, the spare tire carrier is complete. The bottom of the motor looks clean. It was the first year for the 700R4 overdrive automatic trans.

SERVICE: We inspected the car and charged the a/c, lubed the locks and latches.

This is one of the best preserved survivor cars I've seen. It wasn't just forgotten about; it was intentionally preserved. This is a high class Corvette!

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
