Silver Beige w/Silver Beige interior, L83 350/200hp Crossfire V8, 4-speed automatic transmission.

The ‘82 model year was a significant one for Corvette. It marked the end of the line for the third generation. At 14 years, it was (and remains) the longest model run in Corvette history! To commemorate this event, a special “Collector Edition” was introduced. It came with basically every available option and was the first Corvette to have an MSRP of over $20k. The C.E. came finished in a beautiful Silver Beige exterior with a brown hood and side stripes, “Collector Edition” emblems, and turbine style aluminum wheels that were reminiscent of the bolt on’s offered in ’67. On the inside, the theme continued with Silver Beige seats and door panels.

But what also set the C.E. apart from the base Corvettes offered in ’82 was an opening rear hatch. The first and only time this feature was offered on a Shark! Also introduced in ’82 was the L83 Crossfire injected engine.

This 1982 Collector Edition achieved an N.C.R.S. Top Flight award in 2017, and it currently shows only 30k miles on the odometer. The car is powered by the aforementioned L83 350ci Crossfire V8 linked to a four-speed automatic transmission (also a first for Corvette), and a Posi-Traction differential, removable bronze glass roof panels, a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, power windows, and air conditioning.

The car spent over 40 years in New Mexico before we acquired it.
