1982 c3 nose emblem

Anyone have a lead on where I can find the nose emblem for an 82 nose emblem? I am not looking for the collector’s edition.

Have you tried any of the Corvette vendors?
This is from Zip Corvette, just the first place I looked.

You're right.....no one has this emblem. The collector edition is easy to find. But not this one.
If you google '82 Corvette nose emblem for sale Tracy Corvette comes up.
It shows the emblem you want for $120.02....

Tracy Corvette nor Eckler's has the 82 coupe nose emblem...ONLY the collector's emblem which is totally different. I even called a couple places that I thought for sure they would have some, nope1 They both said that the supplier has discontinued that emblem. WOW! What a load of crap!

I've got an 82 Collector Edition, so I am not sure, but are the fuel door emblem and nose emblem the same on the standard 1982 model?

There are fuel door emblems available, eBay etc.

Good luck!

Thanks

They are the same on the nose and gas cap, without the circle around the emblem.

Sorry, my question was not asked clearly.

Are the nose emblem of the base 1982 and the fuel door emblem of the base 1982, the same emblem? Same size, shape, mounting points?

The base model 1982 fuel door emblems, i have seen for sale.

C3 82 nose emblem

I believe so but have not taken them off to confirm as one if so so quality is better than nothing.

The standard 82 nose and gas door emblems were discontinued by Chevrolet 10 ish years ago and no one has reproduced them that I'm aware of. I had an NOS one at Corvette Carlisle last year that I put $250 on and the first person who looked at it bought it?
