For some the last C3 Corvettes were produced in 1981 – for others, fans of the Cross-Fire injection, that year will be 1982. Nevertheless, there can be little debate that either year represents the end of an era in Corvette styling, and that regardless of the performance advantages of more modern Corvettes, the dramatic design cues and the final seed of Harley Earl and Zora Duntovs pioneering influence ends with the completion of the final C3.


This exceptional one of a kind Charcoal Metallic two tone with Red leather interior and 33,923 original miles was custom ordered to specification by a an affluent Spanish businessman. Ultimately, for reasons since lost to the ages, the Spaniard was unable to take delivery of the car. A GM factory employee snatched the car for himself before the car could be reprocessed for more conventional dealer orders. Ultimately he sold the special Corvette to his brother and it had remained in his possession until now.
