Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this numbers matching 1982 Collector Edition Corvette in absolutely spectacular condition with only 15,980 original miles. This Corvette is truly an investment grade classic. The car looks beautiful, runs great, and drives awesome. The 1982 Collector Edition has been steadily increasing in value for the past few years and is an excellent investment. There is copy of the Autocheck report on this car pictured below. The report shows no accident history and verifies the very low original mileage. The last six digits of the VIN, 105675, are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The car comes with the window sticker and original owners manual.

We received this Collector Edition from a prominent local attorney in Cincinnati, OH who has argued cases in front of the US Supreme Court. He is a hardcore car enthusiast with collection of over twenty cars. We actually received this 1982 Corvette from him as well as a 2001 Corvette Convertible that he purchased brand new. He purchased this car in 1998 and has lovingly cared for the car since then. This car comes with excellent service history and absolutely meticulous service records. Please be sure to view the records, which are in the photos, to get a sense of the extreme level of care this car has received throughout the years. We have never seen such extensive and detailed service records on any car we have sold. He had a mechanic visit his collection weekly for maintenance on all his cars. There are over 100 entries in the maintenance chart for this car from the mechanic. Essentially, this car has received the absolute best maintenance for a vehicle that money could buy. It was always stored indoors. The only reason the pervious owner sold it was due to failing health.

The car is totally solid with nice lines and no rust issues. It is finished in the rare and highly desirable color combination of Silver Beige (59) over Silver Beige Leather (591), which are the right codes for a Collector Edition. This is the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag pictured in this ad as well as the window sticker. This Corvette is ready to be used and enjoyed. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the rise, especially for low mileage and special examples like this Collector Edition.

Beside the Collector Edition package this Corvette is absolutely loaded with appealing options as one can see in the extensive list of RPO codes in this ad such as power locks, power windows, power seat, power mirrors, power antenna, rear window defogger, and tilt/telescopic steering wheel. The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title showing the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really is.

As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.

Model Description

This is an authentic and original Collector Edition Corvette verified by the special trim codes and special VIN code, both pictured below. A "0" in the sixth digit of the VIN is exclusive to Collector Editions.

The 1982 was not only the final year of the third generation Corvette, it was truly the end of an era. It was the last of the "Mako Shark" body style first introduced in 1968, which has become the most famous and recognizable Corvette design to date. First available in the 1981 Corvettes, a new weight saving and performance enhancing fiberglass leaf spring became standard on the rear suspension in all 1982 Corvettes. This model year marked the end of the most prolific era for Corvette and history will always hold a special place for the 1982 Corvette.

To honor the special in history that GM knew the 1982 Corvette would hold Chevrolet decided to release a special "Collector Edition." It differed from the normal Corvette in many ways. In addition to the higher level of standard features, the Collector Edition had a lifting frameless glass hatchback with remote release, special silver-beige paint, graduated hood and side body decals, commemorative aluminum wheels styled similarly to the 1967 "bolt on" optional wheels, accent pin striping, multi-tone silver-beige leather seats and door trim, leather wrapped steering wheel and horn cap, special exterior and interior emblems, and luxury carpeting were all exclusive to the Collector Edition and not available on the standard model. The 1982 Corvette Collector Edition was the first Corvette to have a base price over $20,000.00.
