Vehicle Description
Final year of the iconic C3 generation, this 1982 Chevrolet
Corvette Collector Edition marks a significant milestone as the
only C3 ever equipped with an opening rear hatch glass. Finished in
Corvette Silver Metallic with distinctive black pinstriping, this
Limited Edition stands out with its signature design elements. The
distinctive body lines are complemented by correct 15" aluminum
wheels wrapped in 255/60R15 tires that fill the wheel wells with
authority. This Collector Edition Corvette displays its unique
heritage through specific badging and exclusive exterior styling
cues that separate it from standard production models.
Black and silver combine inside to create a bold driving
environment. Recaro adjustable seats offer superior support during
spirited driving sessions, while the console shifter puts the
automatic transmission control right where you need it. The
factory-installed CB radio adds a nostalgic touch to the instrument
panel, surrounded by gauges that provide essential performance data
at a glance. Power steering makes maneuvering this sports car
effortless, while power mirrors simplify visibility adjustments
when changing lanes at speed.
Power comes from the 350 CI L83 V8 featuring Cross Fire Injection -
making this the first fuel-injected Corvette since 1965. Mated to a
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this
combination was only available in 1982. Recent mechanical updates
include new brake components, alternator, power steering lines and
pump, Steeroids rack and pinion, hoses, belts, spark plugs and
wires, fuel filter, rebuilt throttle body, fuel injectors, and
fluid changes throughout. The dual exhaust with aftermarket
mufflers produces a satisfying V8 soundtrack, while four-wheel
power disc brakes deliver confident stopping performance.
