The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked a poignant farewell to the C3 generation, a design icon that had graced American roads for 14 years. After a production run exceeding half a million units, the C3 bowed out with a flourish: the Collector's Edition. This special model was the first Corvette to break the $20,000 barrier and the first to feature a functional hatchback, a precursor to the C4. All 6,759 examples were finished in a unique silver-beige metallic paint with matching interior, distinguishing them as instant classics and ensuring their place in Corvette history. This particular 1982 Collector's Edition, with 109,915 miles on its odometer, embodies the enduring spirit of the C3. Under the hood lies the 5.7L L83 Cross-Fire Injection V8, paired with an automatic transmission, a combination designed for smooth cruising. The distinctive silver-beige metallic paint, a hallmark of the Collector's Edition, showcases the model's unique aesthetic. This final-year C3 offers a chance to own a significant piece of Corvette heritage, representing both the end of an era and a glimpse into the future.
