For Sale: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette in Sarasota, Florida

1982 Chevrolet Corvette - Collector Edition | 10,000 Original Miles | Exceptional Provenance

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly investment-grade example of the final C3 Corvette-the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition, offered with just 10,000 original miles and an extraordinary ownership history.

This is a three-owner car, with the second owner purchasing it in 1984 and storing it in a garage until 2025, where it remained unregistered and preserved for over four decades. Finding a Collector Edition Corvette with this level of originality, documentation, and mileage is increasingly uncommon.

Finished in the exclusive Collector Edition paint scheme, this Corvette retains its correct hood and side decals, iconic glass roof panels, and classic C3 styling that marked the end of an era. As the first Corvette to feature fuel injection as standard equipment and the last of the legendary C3 body style, the 1982 model holds a unique and important place in Corvette history.

Power comes from the 5.7-liter (350 CI) Cross-Fire Injection V8, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, delivering smooth performance and highway-friendly cruising. The car features independent front and rear suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, air conditioning, dual horns, and an AM/FM radio, making it both collectible and comfortable.

As Collector Edition Corvettes continue to gain recognition and value, examples with ultra-low mileage, long-term preservation, and complete documentation stand at the top of the market. This Corvette represents a rare blend of historical significance, originality, and careful stewardship-a standout addition to any serious collection and a car that will only become harder to replace over time.

To ensure reliability while preserving originality, the Corvette has received thoughtful recent servicing, including:
New two-row aluminum radiator
Transmission flush
Driveshaft and half shafts rebuilt with new universal joints
Brake calipers rebuilt and refinished with correct O-ring seals
New floor mats

Documentation further elevates this car's collectability, including a laminated original window sticker, laminated build sheet, and strong ownership history-elements that serious collectors value highly.
