For Sale: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette in Mesa, Arizona

In the long and illustrious lineage of the Corvette, the C3 generation still stands as the longest-running iteration of Chevy's halo car. This 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition represents the final year of the C3 and holds a special place in the hearts and minds of enthusiasts everywhere. With its fully repainted Silver Beige Metallic PPF-protected front fenders, bumper, and custom functionally vented hood, this multi-award-winning Corvette is truly a Collector Edition.

Pop off this car's T-tops, and you'll be treated to an inviting and all-original Silver Beige leather interior featuring supportive and plush bucket seats separated by a center console armrest, giving this car a true cockpit feel. A three-spoke wood-rimmed power-assisted steering wheel sits in front of a matching set of big analog gauges, including an 85 mph speedometer and a 7,000 rpm tachometer. In typical C3 fashion, a five-pod cluster of gauges sits atop the custom AM/FM/AUX stereo head unit, which also offers Bluetooth connectivity through four brand-new speakers. Power locks, mirrors, seats, windows, air conditioning, and cruise control offer all the modern amenities anyone could hope for in an early 1980s sports car.

Under that custom-vented, front-hinged hood, we find a 383-cubic-inch stroker V-8 from West Coast Engines. With its block, intake, and valve covers painted in the same Silver Beige Metallic as the exterior, this potent small block pumps out an impressive 405 horsepower through a custom true-dual exhaust and trick side-exit exhaust. That power is routed through a new Hughes Performance 700R4 four-speed overdrive automatic transmission, complete with all-new trans lines.
