/>A beautifully maintained 1982 Corvette reading 31,988 miles on
the odometer. Originally owned and purchased�by Phillip Epps, a
former Packer's pro football player at Walker Chevrolet in
Texas.�The last year for the C3 corvette was perfected with a
sleeker front end and cutting edge technology for the time. The
cross fire fuel injection system utilizes two throttle bodies that
work together through a computer control module. Together, they
provide a very unique, reactive�throttle response. The overdrive
700R4�transmission is a huge driveability increase allowing for a
30% reduction in highway cruising RPMs and also allowing for a
greater top speed. The bucket seats are very comfortable and give
you a nice view through the windshield and at the center mounted
gauges. With a great history, included original documents and being
all original this Corvette is ready to meet its next owner!�<br

/>1982 saw the debut of the “Cross-Fire Injection” fuel delivery
system. This TBI (Throttle Body Fuel Injection) was not the type of
fuel injection installed previously in some C1 and C2 Corvettes. It
utilized two throttle bodies combined with Chevrolet’s computer
control system. The engine produced 200 hp and was mated to a new
four-speed automatic transmission with torque converters bypass in
the top three gears. Compared to the previous Turbo-Hydramatic
3-speed, the new 700-R4 transmission had a lower first and second
gear for improved low-end acceleration, and a fourth gear overdrive
that would reduce engine RPM by 30 percent at highway cruising
speeds, resulting in better fuel economy. The final model C3
Corvette's published performance numbers were 0-60 in 7.9
seconds-the quarter-mile in 16.1 @ 85 mph. This was the last year
for 8-track tape availability and new “cross-fire injection”
emblems appeared on front fenders. Nose and fuel door crossed-flags
emblems changed to a more squared design. In 1982 Chevrolet knew
this would be the last year of an entire generation of Corvettes
and so commemorated the occasion by offering a Collector Edition
with separate serial number sequencing, silver-beige paint, unique
wheels patterned after the 1967 model's bolt-on alloys, and an
operable rear hatch window.<br /><br /><br />
