1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors Edition

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1982 Chevrolet Corvette. 1982 was the final year of the C3 Corvette. So, GM sent it off with a bang. Enter the Collector's Edition Corvette. It features special paint, interior, the first opening rear hatch on a Corvette and bespoke wheels. The option list was extensive, with nearly everything being standard. Under the hood was the controversial Cross-Fire fuel injection 350-cid V-8 which used twin throttle-bodys and computerized metering for 200hp. Its unique Silver-Beige metallic paint was accented by pin stripes and a "fading shadow" treatment on hood, fenders, and doors plus distinctive cloisonne emblems. The car rode on special finned wheels and has solar screened, bronze tinted T-tops. Inside was a matching Silver-Beige metallic interior with multi-tone leather seats and door trim. Additionally, the Collector Edition's hand-sewn leather-wrapped steering wheel kept the theme color and its leather-covered horn button had a cloisonne emblem. The 1982 Collector's Edition corvette was distinct in that it was the first Corvette to break the $20,000.00 price mark. Collector Edition corvettes were built-to-order. These cars had a 0 in the sixth position of the VIN, so swindlers couldn't fake a Collector's edition - a common occurrence with many "collector cars" . This 1982 Collector's Edition is extremely clean! A three-owner car with a Carfax verified 36,061 miles on the odometer. The car has an extensive list of the maintenance and repairs done over the years - very impressive.
