The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition was the last of the C3 generation. Its basic body shape dated to 1968 and its chassis to 1963. To honor the 1982 model's special status, Chevrolet offered a "Collector Edition". It differed from base models in several ways including a higher level of standard features optional on base models. Special features on this rare car are a lifting rear hatchback glass, special wheels styled similarly to the 1967 bolt on style, unique silver/beige paint, silver/beige leather interior and special cloisonne' emblems. The engine is a 350 cubic-inch V8 that develops 210 horsepower. Only 6,759 were produced and it was the first Corvette to break the $20k mark.
Condition: Mechanically - Excellent, Exterior - Good, Interior - Very Good.
Mechanical: I purchased this vehicle in July of 2011 with 65,135 miles. It currently has 67,145 miles. The car was a great runner when I bought it and I have kept up with it's maintenance and it roars like a lion! New radiator & hoses, sway bar, shocks, engine oil, trans fluid, and radiator fluid, along with new pipes and mufflers. All original style.
Exterior: The over all paint is very good. The decals have faded and are spider cracked on the hood (it looks unique and vintage). The only "damage" is to the right front quarter panel paint, prior to my owning car it appears that some type of fluid dripped and it looks like it is under clear coat. The front bumper has some paint fading and cracking which is common to this model. ( I have attached pictures). Hatchback needs an adjustment/aligning it is only releasing one pin ( I do have a pdf file that shows step by step with pictures on how to repair yourself).
Interior: The seats and steering wheel are new from previous owner. The carpet is in great shape with no stains or signs of wear. The only flaws are; some discoloration on the ash tray cover (can purchase new from Corvette Central est. $100), remnants of a bracket holder on the dash (from CB mount). I have installed new door seals, a Corvette style radio and speakers (original cassette/CB radio included). T-Top black padded suitcase (original bags also included). Vintage Corvette Cup holder.
Features: This car is as loaded as a 1982 Corvette gets; power driver seat, power windows & locks, A/C (converted, not working), tilt and telescope leather wrapped steering wheel, power antenna, glass hatchback, newer Eagle GT II tires (3,800 miles). This car has been garage stored and covered (cover included in sale) Numerous Corvette Collector Edition trinkets to enhance your car show experience (also included).
Overall: This car is a head turner and get's many compliments. It looks and runs great, but it still is 31 years old and it does have it's minor flaws. If you are a serious buyer and have some questions or would like to see more pictures, feel free to email me.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
