The closure of the third generation of Chevrolet Corvettes, spanning from 1968 to 1982, marked a transitional period in automotive design and technology.
The model years 1980 to 1982 faced challenges such as tightening emission regulations and a shift towards fuel efficiency.
The 1980 and 1981 models featured the 5.7L V8 engine, but power outputs were modest due to emission constraints. For 1982, the 5.7L Cross-Fire Injection was released.
In 1982, the Corvette concluded its third generation with the release of the Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. This special edition celebrated the end of an era, adorned with unique features like a distinctive silver-beige metallic paint, exclusive wheels, and commemorative badging.
Under the hood, the Collector's Edition retained the Cross-Fire Injection 5.7L V8, delivering 200 horsepower.
Limited to 6,759 units, the 1982 Collector's Edition remains a sought-after classic among Corvette enthusiasts, symbolizing the culmination of the third-generation Corvette and the transition towards the more technologically advanced C4 generation.
