Model history

The Corvette C3 Collector Edition marks the end of an era: as a special model to mark the end of production of the third Corvette generation, it was equipped with special design elements, exclusive metallic paint and technical upgrades in 1982. The Collector Edition was the first Corvette with a standard glass rear window, which provided better access to the trunk—a detail that was highly regarded at the time. With its distinctive Targa roof, well-designed interior, and typical V8 power, it is now considered a sought-after classic.

    Technik: Die letzten Modelljahre der C3 Corvette haben in den letzten Jahren eine konstante Wertsteigerung erfahren mit Trend nach oben. Diese Corvette aus dem letzten Modelljahr der C3 ist ein echtes Sammler-Fahrzeug mit Fahrspaß-Garantie und Langstrecken-Tauglichkeit. Es handelt sich hier um eine von 6.759 stk. der „Collector Edition“. Dieses Sondermodell sollte den würdigen Abschluss der C3 darstellen. Generell wurde für das Modelljahr 1982 erstmalig der Einspritzer-Motor samt 4-Gang Automatik angeboten. Dabei handelt es sich bereits um den Antriebsstrang der C4 Corvette. Somit ist dieses Modelljahr die einzige Überschneidung aus zuverlässiger moderner Technik der C4 in der formschönen Karosserie der „Coke-Bottle“ Corvette C3. Die Collector Edition sollte nicht „nur“ einfach eine Sonderlackierung erhalten. Diese Fahrzeuge waren um knapp 20% teurer als die Basisversion. Dafür hat der Kunde aber auch einiges bekommen: - Eigene Heckscheibe, einzige C3 bei der die Scheibe aufgeklappt werden kann - Sonderlackierung mit aufwendigen Linierungen und Farbverläufen - Sonderräder, General Motors hat als Hommage an das 67er Modeljahr das Design der „Turbine-Style“ Räder aufgegriffen und diese Räder angefertigt - Hochwertiges Interior in 3-färbigem Leder - Gold-braun verspiegelte T-Tops - Collector Edition Embleme - Vollausstattung LG Tom

            Guten Tag bernd.thielmann, die Übersicht der Classic Data-Bewertung sehen Sie auf Bild Nr. 98. Dort wird vom Sachverständigen auch hervorgehoben, dass es sich um ein unrestauriertes Fahrzeug mit originaler Laufleistung handelt. Beste Grüße - Kickdown Team

          Hallo, kann man das Gutachten einsehen? Wenn das Gutachten eins minus ist, gehe ich davon aus, dass die Klimaanlage geht. (umgerüstet ist?) Und Vakuum auch alles funktioniert.
