1982 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

This 1982 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most affordable ways to get a distinct classic that's a standout in any crowd. It's a final-year C3 with a shining two-tone, fuel-injected V8 power, an overdrive transmission, and a loaded leather interior.

There's a certain sophistication about this Corvette. The factory-correct Silver Metallic and Dark Claret two-tone is a rare treat. And that fiery red stripe used as a dividing line makes sure this coupe is memorable. Not only is this glossy and vibrant color theme striking, but it looks as if they took the time to add quality during a respray. So there are details like the pinstripe is now under the clearcoat for a smoother and more permanent style. This was the last of the C3 Corvettes, which was the longest-running generation, and so you're going to see some earned reverence all over this car. The low odometer is even believed to reflect the full mileage (average only around 1400 miles annually.) So you can see the details nicely, like the polished factory alloys, a nice factory body kit, and the two reds outlining of the power dome on the hood. It's all about a coupe that makes an impression even when standing still.

The interior is the factory-correct Dark Claret leather, and so it looks great against the paint. It's a highly original setup with a few signs of driver enjoyment, but the level of preservation should get Corvette enthusiasts quite excited. Plus, this classic has true appeal because it's loaded with options like power windows, power locks, power mirrors, tilt steering column, electric rear defrost, and factory air conditioning converted to R134a (it likely needs a recharge to blow cold again.) This true classic is still a driver's car, and so they upgraded your music with an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input, but the stock Delco unit also comes with the sale. For the driver, your seat power adjusts to the ideal position. There's a three-spoke sports steering wheel on a tilt column. Beyond that is the large speedometer and tachometer package in front and a full gauge panel prominently to the side. So it's the right kind of weekend fun machine where you can show this fantastic interior to the world as you go cruising around with the radio up and the T-tops off.

The 1982 drivetrain was a preview of the new C4 Corvette. The fuel-injected Cross-Fire 350 cubic-inch V8 is a torque-filled and powerful upgrade only available on the 1982 C3. Plus, the date code and partial VIN are all indicators that this should be the original powerhouse. This has been a well-respected car, and so the V8 fires up with the kind of ease and consistency that makes us love fuel-injected machines. And while features like power steering and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive make it a fantastic highway cruiser, this classic is always up to release its wild side. After all, the fully-independent sports suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes are the kinds of things that will make you want to add to the low odometer.

The sale comes with the title documentation, owner's manual, and T-top storage bags. This is your chance at a distinct T-top classic at a great price. Don't miss out, call today!
