Default 1982 Silver Green

I have a 1982 Silver Green Corvette.......only 723 painted that colour and I was curious if there are very many left out left.

Sorry I can't post a picture of it to show what it looks like...haven't figured that out yet.........

Would love to know if any are out there.............



Jusr figured how to add a picture.....hope it is large enough

Your not going to have much luck finding out how many are left. We have run into the same question with the Collector Editions. So far no one has come up with a way to find them all.
Someone thought about trying to go through all the state records for registrations, but that won't take into account the ones sitting in garages and museums, or just unregistered.

But what we have realized, just about all the 82's that are not CE's are probably more rare than the CE's. There were over 6500 CE's made, compare that to the number of Silver Green ones made.

I can recall coming across two of them for sale when I was looking for a Vette. My search was many hours a day and lasted for about four months. There are some out there, but how many is anyone's guess. It is a unique color....sort of a very light metallic silver/green that looks better than it sounds in type.

Kind of stinks for us, but at least the price doesn't show it the way we see it.
