For Sale: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette in Lavergne, Tennessee

Only one year ever saw the C3 Corvette fitted from the factory with an overdrive automatic, and this is it. This 1982 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in factory-correct Red (code 70L) with a full repaint that keeps the classic T-top silhouette looking crisp and cohesive. Factory-style 15" wheels wear a set of P255/60R15 Cooper Cobra radials that match the stance well. With gloss-matched T-tops, clean glass, and black rocker guards, this vehicle nails the C3 finish from every angle without going overboard.

The cabin carries a consistent factory-correct Dark Red finish with restored vinyl bucket seats, red carpet, and matching door panels. A wood-rim steering wheel breaks up the monochrome tone and adds some vintage flair. A center console houses the shifter and adds structure to the seating layout. The upgraded Pioneer head unit includes CD, Bluetooth, AUX, and USB inputs, adding a bit of modern usability without disturbing the original layout. The dash and trim panels reflect careful restoration, maintaining an authentic '82 look throughout.

Power comes from the numbers-matching L83 350 V8, now upgraded with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, replacing the factory crossfire setup. It's paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic-the only year the C3 came with an overdrive auto from the factory. Chrome valve covers and alternator add some shine under the hood. The suspension retains stock-style coils up front and air shocks in the rear. Power disc brakes on all four corners and power steering are in place. Exhaust exits through a dual-to-single-to-dual setup with aftermarket mufflers and a central cat.
