The Collector Edition was the first Corvette offered with a hinged glass rear hatch rather than a fixed rear window. This example features fiberglass bodywork finished in Silver Beige Metallic (59L) with fading shadow treatment on the hood, fenders, and doors. Exterior equipment includes removable glass T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, side marker lights, fender air vents, sport mirrors, and quad taillights. The power antenna and rear hatch struts were replaced in preparation for the sale.
The 15″ turbine-style aluminum wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle GTII tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted discs.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Silver Beige leather with multi-tone inserts along with a color-matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Interior amenities include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, power windows, a tilting steering column, air conditioning, and a locking storage compartment.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level are located in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 120 of which were added under current ownership.
The 350ci L83 V8 features Cross-Fire Injection and was factory rated at 200 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. The battery, air filter, fuel filter, an accessory belt, valve cover gaskets, and air conditioning compressor were reportedly replaced under current ownership, and an oil change and air-conditioning system recharge were also performed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction differential.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Fitz Chevrolet-Buick and lists factory colors, options, and a total price of $24,062.59.
