FOR SALE: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition – 5,385 Original Miles | $55,000

Rare One-Year-Only Color | Final-Year C3 | Collector-Grade Condition
This is more than just the last of the C3s—it’s a rolling tribute to Corvette legacy.

Offered for sale is a stunning and exceptionally preserved 1982 Corvette Collector Edition, showing just 5,385 original miles and kept in pristine condition by a single owner since new. It’s one of the most iconic final-year send-offs ever built—the only Corvette in 1982 to feature a unique VIN, exclusive color palette, and a host of one-year-only details that separate it from the rest of the pack.

Finished in Silver Beige Metallic—a color that was available only in 1982—this Corvette radiates elegance and exclusivity. The paint blends seamlessly into the custom multi-toned Silver Beige leather interior, which offers a rich mix of silvers and warm neutrals. The attention to detail is unmistakable, from the gradient hood decals to the removable bronze glass roof panels that flood the cockpit with light.

This Collector Edition has been housed in a private, climate-controlled collection of over 30 classic vehicles, maintained by a dedicated in-house mechanic, and stored away from weather, time, and wear.
