1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

To commemorate the final model year of the C3-generation Corvette, Chevrolet offered a special Collector Edition model for 1982 only – the most expensive Corvette ever offered at the time with a price of more than $22,000 when new. It featured an exclusive hatch rear window, unique Silver-Beige Metallic paint, matching Silver-Beige Metallic multi-tone leather interior, “fading shadow” gradient treatment on the hood, fenders, and doors, and cloisonné emblems. A fuel-injected 350 cubic-inch Chevy small-block V8 paired with a new four-speed automatic transmission powered the full Corvette range for its final model year before the introduction of the C4 in 1984. 

Highlights

• Well-appointed interior with standard upgraded carpeting and a hand-sewn leather-wrapped steering wheel
