Does anyone have the part number for the front emblem for the 82, not the Collector Edition, the regular car ? I don't have a factory parts manual to look it up. My car is missing the emblem and I need to buy one, I've searched Ebag, a few of the Corvette resto shops such as CorvetteAmerica and Eklers. All I'm finding is the Collector Car emblem. Does anyone have one for sale ? I'd prefer NOS but I'll take anything in great condition or new. Thanks
Not sure, but can you use the fuel door emblem on the hood? It looks pretty much identical to the hood emblem. Corvette Pacifica has them for sale - part number 14042293 (non-collectors edition). I don't own a non-collector's 82 to look at for comparison, but from pics on the internet, they look pretty close.
The gas door and nose emblems are not interchangeable due to the fasteners and the crease in the nose. If anything ever happens to mine I'll buy the collectors emblem and simply saw off the ring.

Haha. I thought about mentioning that too, however, I've read that the Anniversary emblem is basically a slightly modified 77-79 emblem with block lettering "Corvette Collector's Edition" inside that outer ring you mentioned. Assuming that is true, then the OP could just purchase a 77-79 emblem and be done with it - just would need to paint over the chrome with some flat black paint. Easy enough if you've ever built a model car. Those emblems are readily available.... The pattern of the red flag is a bit different, though. You'll only see the bowtie in the 82 emblem....
Or... like you said, just purchase a collectors edition and remove the ring. Seems a waste though, since the collectors edition emblems are roughly DOUBLE in cost compared to the 77-79 emblems.
77-79 (below)...
and 82 non-anniversary (below)...
Unless, the OP's car is being judged at an NCRS event, then who's going to notice? Heck, I had to double check myself. haha

That may be the option I have to go with unfortunately
