Vehicle Description
A final-year C3 with low mileage, its original V8, and rare
features - this 1982 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most
affordable ways to get a turn-key classic that that's a standout in
any crowd.
The first thing that strikes you about this classic Corvette is the
color. Less than 715 coupes were painted in code-13 Silver Metallic
in 1982. That's why it's so important to have this factory-correct
hue still shining on the car today. And this silvery hue is a great
complement to the iconic Rally wheel package. This coupe has only
averaged about 720 miles annually. That means it's been under the
kind or proper care where the headlight doors still fit flush,
there are uniform gaps in the body, and the doors close with
authority. But this kind of car deserves this level of respect. The
1982 model earns its place in Corvette history as the final year
before General Motors shut the books on the iconic C3.
The interior retains its correct silver color, but it also has been
upgraded to a more premium leather during its lifetime. And more
than just look good, this classic has appeal because it's loaded
with options like power windows, power locks, power mirrors, tilt
steering column, electric rear defrost, original AM/FM/cassette
stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning. For the
driver, there's a three-spoke sports steering wheel. Beyond that is
the large speedometer and tachometer package in front and a full
gauge panel prominently to the side. Best of all, you can show this
fantastic interior to the world as you go cruising around with 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 torquey and
powerful upgrade only available on the 1982 C2. And it's
surprisingly efficient thanks to a new 700R4 four-speed automatic
overdrive transmission as standard equipment. This is the original
motor, and just like the rest of this car, it's refreshingly stock.
The offset air cleaner gives it away, and you'll be impressed by
how tidy everything is and how well-maintained all the vitals are.
It starts quickly and easily, makes a fantastic rumble from the
dual exhaust. And while features like power steering, cruise
control, and overdrive make it a fantastic highway cruiser, this
classic is always up to release its wild side. After all, the
fully-independent sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and
Goodyear Eagle tires are all part of a great back roads
package.
The sale comes compete with the right paperwork, including the
original window sticker, owner's manual, and a reproduction
buildsheet. So this is an interesting classic with great features.
It only gets better when you realize that this total vintage
package is available at such an affordable price. Don't miss out,
