1982CollectorEdition

Hey all,

I have a 1982 Collectors Edition C3 Corvette in mostly good condition. Recently my rear window was destroyed - jury's still out on what exactly happened but in any case there's nothing left of it but the hinges. I've been searching all over for a replacement and so far all I've found are 2 on eBay on the other end of the US from me (and are pickup only) and 1 new one to be found for $5k before adding in shipping, labor, insurance, etc. I'm hoping someone here might have a lead on a more reasonable option. Heck if I could find a wrecked corvette to pull the glass off and re-sell the rest I'd end up ahead of what I've found - the problem being the Collector Edition's different window style from other C3s meaning it would have to be a wrecked CE and not any old C3.

Alternatively if anyone has heard of a shop that does Lexan windows for the body style I'd be super happy with that - I don't need it to be original I just need it to fit. I haven't been able to find such a thing yet but I figure if anyone would know they'd be on this forum.

Thanks,
Nik

I recall Lyle had an 82CE he was parting out a few years ago.

Where did you find a new one for $5000? I didn't think anyone made them.
