Default 1982 Model

My cousin owns an 82 special release model or something?
Are these rare?

Look at my sig. I have a 1982 Collectors Edition, I think that is what you are talking about. There were only like 6000 made, and yes it is rare. I just have to buy the decals for after it was painted.

Oh cool. Yeah I havn't actually seen his, he only got it a while ago. Even more rare down here as you never see a Corvette. that looks cool though, like the paint. Almost a Japanses colour.
He has all the original decals etc.
And a Super Charger also which is going on very soon.
I am going to line him up :D

The paint is called Silver-Beige. Personally I wouldn't put a supercharger on it, but it is his car. I know it only puts out 200HP from the factory but it is one he11 of a goos looking car IMHO

looks like a real metallic paint.

I think he want's it faster, 200HP in a car that heavy is a little slugish. Especially if he want to line me up.
What do they do down the 1/4 stock?
Also what do you think it will be like with the SC, it is one that almost fits under the bonnet, just a small lump.?

Almost a Japanese colour? Oh my god. You know what you do here GT-R Ben. By the way, I agree about the supercharger. If its a CE, and has matching numbers, it will be worth more stock. Course, it is his car.
