Default Collector Edition

Well, I picked me up a 82 Collector Edition pretty good unmolested shape original owner with a ton of paperwork and receipts. Followed The Ten Rules For Buying Your First C3 Corvette. I just sold my C7 and pick up a 2015 GMC Sierra with some of the eguity. My plan was/is to use the rest of the equity for my future C7 Z06. I've had C4, 4 C6"s, C7 and now my C3 Collector Edition. Always wanted a C3 but never really pursued one until I saw this




Had to do it, not having a Vette just gave me a empty feeling. I feel better now so it looks like sometime in my future I will now have two Vette's

Gorgeous car congratulations. Check your receipts to see if those Eagles were purchased at Kelsey Tire. If so, there may be some life left in them. If not, and you want to enjoy her, you might need to price out a new set.

The '82 CE was the Vette I wanted but couldn't find, without it being ragged out, when I went shopping for my first. Came across my '75 but that's a story all to itself. I saw a near perfect '82 CE at auction last month. Beautiful cars. Glad you found one.
Enjoy.
