1982 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Sting Ray Sport Coupe

The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition was the last of a 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. This Collectors Edition Corvette was built in the Bowling Green, KY plant. Special features on this rare car are a lifting rear hatchback glass, special wheels styled similarly to the 1967 style, unique silver/beige paint, silver/beige leather interior and special cloisonné emblems.

The engine is a 350 cubic-inch V8 that develops 200 horsepower. Only 6,759 were produced. This was the first year that the Corvette broke the $20,000 price barrier.
