The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition was the last of the C3 generation.  Its basic body shape dated to 1968 and its chassis to 1963.  To honor the 1982 model's special status, Chevrolet offered a "Collector Edition".  It differed from base models in several ways including a higher level of standard features optional on base models.  Special features on this rare car are a lifting rear hatchback glass, special wheels styled similarly to the 1967 bolt on style, unique silver/beige paint, silver/beige leather interior and special cloisonne' emblems.  The engine is a 350 cubic-inch V8 that develops 210 horsepower.  Only 6,759 were produced and it was the first Corvette to break the $20k mark.

Condition:  Mechanically - Excellent,   Exterior - Good,   Interior - Very Good.

Mechanical:   I purchased this vehicle in July of 2011 with 65,135 miles.  It currently has 67,145 miles.  The car was a great runner when I bought it and I have kept up with it's maintenance and it roars like a lion!  New radiator & hoses, sway bar, shocks, engine oil, trans fluid, and radiator fluid, along with new pipes and mufflers.  All original style.

Exterior:   The over all paint is very good.  The decals have faded and are spider cracked on the hood (it looks unique and vintage).  The only "damage" is to the right front quarter panel paint, prior to my owning car it appears that some type of fluid dripped and it looks like it is under clear coat.  The front bumper has some paint fading and cracking which is common to this model.  ( I have attached pictures).  Hatchback needs an adjustment/aligning it is only releasing one pin ( I do have a pdf file that shows step by step with pictures on how to repair yourself).

Interior:   The seats and steering wheel are new from previous owner.  The carpet is in great shape with no stains or signs of wear.  The only flaws are; some discoloration on the ash tray cover (can purchase new from Corvette Central est. $100), remnants of a bracket holder on the dash (from CB mount).  I have installed new door seals, a Corvette style radio and speakers (original cassette/CB radio included). T-Top black padded suitcase (original bags also included).  Vintage Corvette Cup holder.

Features:   This car is as loaded as a 1982 Corvette gets; power driver seat, power windows & locks, A/C (converted, not working), tilt and telescope leather wrapped steering wheel, power antenna, glass hatchback, newer Eagle GT II tires (3,800 miles).  This car has been garage stored and covered (cover included in sale) Numerous Corvette Collector Edition trinkets to enhance your car show experience (also included).

Overall:   This car is a head turner and get's many compliments.  It looks and runs great, but it still is 31 years old and it does have it's minor flaws.  If you are a serious buyer and have some questions or would like to see more pictures, feel free to email me.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
