40 year corvette owner.

Just bought a 17.700 mile Collector Edition.
What is the paint code and name for the dark bronze paint on the tailight bezels, and also dk bronze interior, dash cluster and steering wheel?

Also, apparently NLA, unobtainium= Hatch hinge trim plates under the basket handle....looked everywhere. Anybody know something?

Need two.

1982 Collector Edition paint codes

DUPONT paint codes are:
exterior D8259G
Interior D8259J add 305S med gloss
taillight D8262J taillight is a single stage flex add for front and rear caps 2322S

I believe I saved these codes from an old post here on CEs.

Hi L-46m,
Welcome!
If you've owned Corvettes for 40 years you MUST be aware of the fact that we need to see photos!
Good Luck!
I hope your new 82 CE gives you lots of pleasure!!!
Regards,
Alan

Thank You Mike...I'll check out the D8262J and being new (on here)
I'll start cruising the CE forums.
The CE is the new car....The other one (40 years) is a 1969 L-46, M21, Side exhaust, FE7, {delete everything} Convertible...Two tops.

Damn nice to have A/C in a C-3! in AZ!

Cheers everybody...some day I'll tell you about the week I spent driving ZORA around Martha's Vinyard....what a Hoot! Engineer to Engineer.

Thanks Al.....obvious newbie question....how do I use my abacus to post photos....thought I don't have 'permission'.

I spend a lot of time on VWVORTEX...I have 4 Sciroccos too...It's a little easier there.

Photobucket Acct?

Written answer to a visual question. The CE has 17,700 mile on it.
It is the culmination of a nationwide 7 year search. I looked at 23 of them, before dropping the hammer.

Realizing there are a lot of NCRS guys here...I'll use the Hal Scale of goodness. 0-100

Interior about 95
Exterior about 90. The tailight bezels/ paint masking area are a little
threadbare and the bronze stripes are a little schmizzled in places.
The fade graphics are as new.
Gaskets are excellent.
Turbine wheels are exc.

Just a really nice example of the last shark.

Mid America just found two...hinge covers...DONE! THX!

Welcome to the forum! Wow... 4 Sciroccos! I loved the first gen of those!

Another forty years and you can step up to a C4!

JK, cool '69!!!

L-46man

While I love EVERY Corvette Made...Having spent a ton of time with Dave Mcllelan at the launch of the C-4....hmm, he says cordially...not my kind of Corvette.

Possibly some credit COULD go to my old Club..North Shore Corvettes of MA...for backing Dave into a corner...Danny Gale, myself and a few others and banging on him for the C-4 Coupe....without the video game instruments! We got the coupe....took them a while to see the error of their ways.

Me to DAVE at dinner "what the @#$% were you thinking...this is not a DATSUN 280ZX...forget those guys!"

Having said that...If I was to go racing again....The C-4 is what I'd choose.

You guys are all so dang civilized! LOL.

On the Scirocco forums, I'm UnkaHal the forum Curmudgeon!
I guess I'm more used to the 'finging poo' type of forum! yeehah!

I have 3 minty Mk1 Srocks incl. possibly the 'newest' one in the country, and a forlorn looking Mk2.

Oh and a Audi TT Quattro....the daily.

1982 ce....

Hi L-46,
WELL!
That was worth waiting for!
Looks like a very nice car!
You must be pretty pleased?!?!
Good Luck with it!
Regards,
Alan

Next time the hood is open…. maybe another photo?

L-46man

Super GrandSport there!

Oh! You assume that the hood opens! (took 4 hours!) I bought it without opening the hood!

The Car sat for a total of 23 years in a metal shed in Hou. TX.

So with the 12 hours it took to fix the hatch and the Four hours to get the hood open. (the late C-3's don't have the ability to use the CHEATER ROD like the 69....)

yes, the caution fan sticker is still in Hou!

Working the years offa it!

anyway great to be here.

super people...every one of them!

L-46man

BTW...here's the 69...BRUTE!
