1982 Custom 454 Big Block Corvette w/ 5 spd manual trans and custom interior

1982 Chevrolet Corvette Description

The VIN# is TNVIN957036052981 Its a reassigned Tennessee Vin # explained below! This 1982 Corvette is far from the average 1082! It started its life as a collector edition corvette from Chevrolet and purchased by a speed shop called “County Corvette Inc.” in Little Rock, Arkansas, where it had its original crossfire injection small block drive-train ripped out, and a built 454 big block w/ a Doug Nash 5 speed manual transmission installed. All this work happened in 1983, so they renamed and re-vinned this corvette as a “1983 GTL Corvette” and Built for Dave Mullenax, whose name and speed shop’s tags are all still mounted on the car. (One under hood and one on the ash tray lid inside car) At some point Dave sold the car to someone in Tennessee, where their DMV was not happy about the Factory vin # being tampered with, and was actually re-vinned again and inspected to make sure it was never stolen, with no issues, and re-assigned a new Tennessee vin # and plated in the drivers door jam. I never had an issue getting the title transferred to my name here in North Carolina. So now I have a clean and CLEAR NC title in my name and in my possession. This car is not a salvage or rebuilt title at all nor was it ever! This car has never been wrecked, however it has had the fiberglass front end professionally extended about 4" and molded into the body to make a clean one piece front clip and newer headlights installed! This car is an absolute joy to drive and still drives and handles tight and straight. Just recently had an alignment and all the under suspension and bushings looked over for clear stamp of approval. A/C still intact that works and Heat works perfectly as well as rear defrost. This car is a BEAST and will chirp the wheels in every single gear! Speaking of gears, you’re not seeing things wrong, this car has a custom built Doug Nash FIVE speed manual transmission. (Paperwork and build sheet for transmission included) Cammed 454 has long tube headers to side pipes that sound amazing. (youtube video below doesn’t do the sound justice!) The interior has recently been overhauled with brand new carpet, seats, and shifter boot! The seats were reupholstered in a two tone black leather with gold stitching, and a wild retro gold material for the inserts! Dash, gauges, radio, and door panels are in excellent condition as well and all lights work! This vette also has glass removable T-tops that function perfectly, but I have blacked out the underside b/c the sun was baking me! Car has aftermarket hood, headlights, taillights, wheels, and rear wing. The paint is in great shape and shines for sure, but this is not a $15k paint job by any means. It is however very nice and driver quality. This car screams character and turns heads everywhere. If you are not into being noticed or heard, DO NOT BID! This car is an attention grabbing, rumble sounding, utter joy to drive and own. High bidder will be nothing short of thrilled! Reserve is set incredibly low for a big block corvette, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to own this incredible ride at such a fair value! Good luck and happy bidding!
