Yes, C 02D 107002 decodes as follows.

C = 1982
02 = February
D = 4th week of the month
107002 = the 7002 1982 Corvette built.

59I 59L 59U indicates an 82 Collector Edition. 59I being the Silver Beige Metallic Leather and 59L 59U is the Silver Beige Metallic exterior.

My guess is Tuesday, February 23, 1982. #7287 was the last February built car. About 110 per day was average production. That would put your #7002 somewhere in the neighborhood of Tuesday of that week.

Quasi Educated Guess only.
