The Appeal
To celebrate the end of 14 years of producing its iconic ‘Sharknose’ Corvette, Chevrolet unveiled the Collector’s Edition. Finished in exclusive ‘silver beige’ metallic with matching interior and featuring clever referential features like alloys similar to the original cars, these are amongst the rarest and most desirable of the C3 model line.
This low mileage Collector’s Edition is fully factory-correct and retains its matching numbers running gear, including the torquey L83 5.7L 200bhp 250CI ‘Cross Fire Injection’ engine. The photographs confirm that it is in very good condition inside and out.
Few cars carry the iconography and style of a good C3. The Collector’s Edition is the one you want and this low mileage car looks tempting.
