Vehicle Description
Some Corvette History:
The last year of the body style that was introduced in 1968 as well
as the frame that was introduced in 1963. No manual transmission
cars were built this year, the first time since 1955. The new
"Cross-Fire" fuel injection was introduced with computers
controlling two fuel injectors making up to 80 adjustments per
second to enhance drivability and fuel economy. This was the first
fuel injected Corvette in 20 years, it also raised horsepower by
10. A solenoid operates a small flap in the hood allowing fresh air
into the engine during full-throttle acceleration. A new automatic
transmission has locking in all but first gear. The exhaust system
was re-engineered to use smaller catalytic converters. 1982 was the
first year a Corvette base price exceeded $20,000. This was the
collector edition and 6,759 were produced. The collector edition
was unique in the fact that it was a hatchback with the rear glass
opening to allow access to the storage area. The collector edition
also had unique bronze solar screened t-tops. Also the
crossed-flags emblem read "Collectors Edition" around the edge. The
seats and steering wheel continued the two-tone color scheme as
well. The Bowling Green plant closed in October of 1982 to begin
re-tooling for the new 1984 C4 Corvette.�
