SOLD!! ORIGINAL 64K MILES!!

The Collector Edition was the first Corvette hatchback, with a frame-less glass lift-up hatch in place of the customary fixed backlight. It's unique 'Silver/Beige' metallic paint was accented by pin stripes and a 'fading shadow' treatment on the hood, fenders and doors plus distinctive cloisonne emblems. Special finned wheels and removable glass roof panels that had special bronze coloring and solar screening were added to this unique car. The body-color front bumper had a built in air dam. Also standard was a luggage security shade, concealed wipers, time-delay courtesy lamps, headlamp on reminder, lighted visor vanity mirror, a 7,000 rpm tachometer, an analog clock with sweep second hand, a lighter and a trip odometer. It included a 'Cross-Fire' TBI fuel injected engine and only 6,759 Collector Editions were built out of a total production of 25,407 cars. The Collector Edition's special aluminum wheels were designed to look like the bolt-on wheels of the 1967 car. The Collector Edition also had a '0' in the sixth digit of the VIN rather than the '8' found on the standard Corvette's. This was the first Corvette to sell for more than $20,000 with a base price of $22,537.59.
This particular example has it's original paint which is therefore in somewhat faded condition although very presentable as a daily driver. The interior and the trim is in excellent condition throughout! The car's factory correct 'BF Goodrich Radial T/A' tires are fairly new. Purchased from it's original southern California owner by only its second southern California owner in 1/2000 and always primarily serviced by him at the renown 'Corvette Specialists' of San Dimas, California with all service records available!
The car was always garaged and has had absolutely no rust or any accidents in it's entire life history! All the options are working as they should including all gauges and lights and the air conditioning. This is obviously one very rare and highly desirable example of this classic American sports car - a completely rust and accident free 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition with only 64K original miles in virtually completely original condition throughout! An obviously always garaged and unabused example! The engine purrs imperceptibly under the hood and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through the gears - an absolute pleasure to drive - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day sports car a run for its money!
Without a doubt you will look long and hard to find a finer example of this last and most collectible year for the 'Mako Shark' generation - perfect for the enthusiast or any classic car collector! Reserve this car immediately!
