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.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
