🏆 Why This Corvette?

1982 marked the final year of the iconic C3 Corvette generation, and this example captures the best of that era – a final evolution with refined styling, improved fuel injection, and early 80s flair. The Silver Green Metallic paint is one of the rarest factory color options, only offered that year. Paired with its originality and low mileage, this car is investment-grade.

If you’re a Corvette enthusiast or collector seeking a unique piece of Chevrolet history, this is the one. The condition, rarity, and pedigree of this Corvette make it a standout in any collection.

This car is a keeper or potential show car with just a few minor touches needed. There is a small transmission leak that occurs occasionally. All of the upgrades have increased the horsepower without modifying the engine itself. The underside is clean, and the brakes and shocks are in good condition. The A/C works great, as do the wipers. The cruise control does not work, and I chose not to repair it, as it operates on a vacuum system that’s known to be unreliable. A very similar 1982 Silver Green Corvette recently sold at an online auction for over $26,000.

These silver-green Corvettes do not come up very often, especially in this kind of condition. Serious inquiries only. No trades. I’m simply looking to break even and recoup my investment.
