1982 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Collector's Edition – 5.7L V8

We are delighted to offer this highly original and exceptionally well-preserved 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector’s Edition, marking the final and most desirable production year of the iconic C3 generation.

Finished in its factory-exclusive Silver Beige Metallic paintwork with matching Collector’s Edition interior, this Corvette presents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine collector-grade example that remains remarkably close to how it left the factory over forty years ago.

Unlike many C3 Corvettes now found on the market, this car retains its original factory paintwork, original trim and a level of authenticity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Having covered just 77,000 miles from new, it has clearly benefited from careful ownership and meticulous preservation throughout its life.

Power comes from the numbers-matching 5.7-litre (350ci) V8 equipped with Chevrolet’s distinctive Cross-Fire Injection system, paired to the smooth and refined four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The result is a classic American grand tourer that delivers effortless performance, relaxed cruising capability and the unmistakable character that has made the Corvette a motoring icon for generations.

Key features include:

• 77,000 Documented Miles from New
• Numbers-Matching 5.7-Litre Cross-Fire Injection V8
• Rare Collector’s Edition Model
• Original Silver Beige Metallic Paintwork
• Factory Bronze-Tinted T-Top Roof Panels
• Opening Rear Glass Hatch
• Extensive History File Including Original Warranty Documents

The originality of this particular example continues inside the cabin, where the model-specific multi-tone leather interior remains in exceptional condition. The seats, door cards, carpets and switchgear present beautifully, creating a genuine time-capsule feel that is rarely encountered today.

Perhaps most impressively, the car is accompanied by a substantial history file documenting various points throughout its life. Included within the paperwork is the original warranty documentation supplied when the Corvette was first purchased from Ross Chevrolet of St. Petersburg, Florida. The file also records its sale to Mr Glen Davidson of Florida on 31st December 1982, providing a wonderful piece of provenance and helping to tell the story of this remarkably well-preserved Corvette.

Collector’s Edition models were produced to celebrate the end of the legendary C3 generation and featured numerous model-exclusive details, including the unique paint finish, special badging, turbine alloy wheels and the opening rear glass hatch. Today they are widely regarded as some of the most collectible and sought-after C3 Corvettes produced.

Beautifully original examples with documented provenance, extensive supporting history and untouched factory presentation are becoming increasingly hard to find. Offered fully registered and ready to be enjoyed, this outstanding Corvette represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Chevrolet’s most significant collector models.

A highly authentic, exceptionally original and increasingly collectible American classic. Viewing is strongly recommended.

This is far more than a classic Corvette – it’s a genuine piece of American motoring history. Beautifully preserved, extensively documented and increasingly difficult to replicate, this outstanding Collector’s Edition deserves to be seen in person. Contact us today to book your private viewing and discover why exceptional originals are always the first to be sold.
