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.
