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.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

AWD turbodiesel Equinox, Terrain dropped for 2020
Thu, May 2 2019Citing low demand, General Motors is dropping the AWD diesel options off the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain roster. Chevrolet spokesman Kevin Kelly confirmed to CarsDirect that for 2020, the diesel versions of these SUVs will only be offered with front-wheel-drive. CarsDirect notes that with the AWD diesel Equinox and Terrain gone, the only AWD diesel option in this class is the Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv diesel, which is significantly more expensive: As the AWD diesel CX-5 is only available in a fully loaded Signature specification, the $42,045 price tag is almost $10k heftier than the cheapest comparable Equinox, the AWD 1.6-liter diesel LT which starts from $32,495. The 2019 GMC Terrain AWD SLE costs $34,795 in comparison, which works out to being around $7,200 cheaper than the Mazda. The higher trim levels for the Equinox and Terrain are Premier and SLT, respectively. Some reasoning behind the AWD diesel GM SUV's low uptake is their own price difference to base FWD gasoline models: you can get a 1.5-liter Equinox for less than §25,000 listed. While the 2.2-liter Mazda has plenty more power at 168 hp and 290 lb-ft, compared to 137hp and 240 lb-ft in the 1.6-liter GM SUVs, the Equinox and Terrain are notably more frugal – they are rated 32mpg combined, while the Mazda can manage 28 mpg. With better fuel economy and a significantly lower list price, the General Motors twins are at least more wallet-friendly when it comes to numbers, and as the vehicles will cease to be built in that configuration there's likely to be some cash on the hood on ones in stock.
