82 Collertors Edition

I am considering buying 82 Collections Edition located in Yonkers NY. I hope one of you good people may be able to inspect her got me. I had a 71 Vert so am familiar with a C3. Contact me if you can help.

Thanks for the help. I have arranged for an inspector to appraise the car.
I hope I ready for the Crossfire Hurricane.

I've had mine for 3 years and runs far smoother and more reliably the my 4MV....don't let ANYONE tell you there is something wrong with that set up...CFI...it's a myth.

When you want help with the hatch...IM me.

Another Crossfire believer here...had one since 1996. The problems start when owners try to make the CFI something more than what it is...keep the smog/sensor stuff going and enjoy the cruising. Truth be told, that 200 HP and 285 torque from the 700R4 (unique to the C3 in an 82) are good to go for an early 80s car. I cruise in the 82 and run with the big boys in the Z16...just depends on my mood as to what I fire up!
