Vehicle Description
Survivor cars are more and more popular these days and getting
harder and harder to find. We have a great one here with this sweet
'82 Corvette. All original including the paint, interior, and
numbers matching engine. Last of the C3 generation, first on
several technological advances like the fiberglass rear spring
which is a Corvette standard item now. Come on down and check it
out.
This car has the beautiful color combination of Silver Blue
Metallic with a Dark Blue two-tone. The hood was restyled for '82
and the tapered bulge in it is outlined nicely with the Dark Blue.
Changes were made to the nose of the car for better air flow to the
radiator and lower aerodynamic drag. The fact that it looks great
too is a "form following function" bonus. The two-tone paint breaks
at the mid body line with a medium blue stripe separating the two.
A Crossfire Injection badge appears on the front fender. Removable
glass T-roof sections store in their own bags and make for some
nice open-air motoring when you wish. The rear bumper was restyled
along with the front for better air flow too. Corvette appears in
script between the taillights and crossed racing flags are on the
gas cap as well as the hood.
Open the door and you will find a wonderfully preserved, all
original interior. The door panel is nicely stitched, tight and
clean with just an armrest, door handle and power window switch.
The seats are comfortable and supportive with just enough wear to
them that they fit like your favorite jeans. A leather wrapped
three spoke wheel feels good in your hands, has crossed racing
flags on the horn button, and is mounted on a tilt and telescoping
column. The dash is super clean with the 37,766 original miles
indicated on the odometer on the left with the tach mounted to the
right. The center console has a five-gauge cluster mounted just
over the original radio. On the floor is the shifter for the
automatic transmission and the power window switches with just
enough wear to let you know that this is a survivor car, not a
restored one.
Pop the hood and you will find the Crossfire Injection system that
was advertised on the fender, and first appeared in this car. It
was comprised of two throttle body fuel injectors combined with a
new computer control system. There are lots of recent maintenance
receipts that are things you would expect on an older, low mileage
car. New belts, fan, new air conditioning compressor and dryer and
new valve cover gaskets as well as plugs and wires and a heater
control valve. The power flows back through a new (in 1982) 4-speed
automatic transmission with lower first and second gears than the
old 3-speed for better acceleration, and an overdrive fourth gear
for cruising. New in '82 also was an aluminum Dana 44 independent
rear suspension differential and crossmember that along with the
fiberglass rear spring saved a bunch of weight. New just recently
are bushings front and rear along with rear shocks and new brakes
all around. The car sits on factory aluminum mags with 255/60R15s
all around and just received a 4-wheel alignment.
An all original survivor car with maintenance records, the original
window sticker, owner's manual and warranty card. You should
probably come on down and get while the gettin's good. This car
probably won't stick around long.
