1982 Chevrolet Corvette Description
These final year C3s are desirable for plenty of upgraded factory features. So when you combine that with a terrific color combo, this 1982 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most affordable ways to get a turn-key and loaded classic that that's a standout in any crowd.
This is an original red car - always a desirable feature for Corvettes. It has a nice clearcoat luster that really pops on a sunny Sunday drive. This combines with straight body panels to showcase the sharp edges and rounded fenders we love on these C3s. Against all this red are some cool bright details, like the N90 aluminum wheels. It all comes together to on this low mileage car (averaging less than 1,600 miles annually) to give it the look of a very well-respected stock package. This level of care makes sense, because this one earns its place in history as the final year before General Motors shut the books on the legendary C3.
This is a true red-blooded American outside and inside. Red carpets, door panels, center console, dash cover, and fold-down bucket seats - it's all suspected to be original, and everything looks like it was cared for by a true Corvette enthusiast. The T-tops mean you can easily share this terrific interior with the world. Plus, the air conditioning will keep you cool with the windows up or you can enjoy the open-air feeling with them down and the t-tops removed. This one is loaded with even more great options like power windows, power locks, tilt/telescopic steering column, and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. The three-spoke sports steering wheel gives you a clear view to the large speedo and tach, and the auxiliary gauges are nicely placed to the side at eye-level.
The 1982 engine package was a preview of the new C4 Corvette. The fuel-injected Cross-Fire 350 cubic-inch V8 is a torquey and powerful upgrade only available on the 1982 C3. And it's surprisingly efficient thanks to a new 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with handy overdrive as standard equipment. This is the numbers-matching motor, and just like the rest of this car, it's refreshingly stock. The offset air cleaner is an instant indicator of this one-year-only C3 motor, and you'll be impressed by how well-preserve it all is. The V8 starts quickly and easily, and it makes a sweet rumble from the dual exhaust tips. Features like power steering, cruise control, and overdrive make it a fantastic highway cruiser, but this classic is also always up to release its wild side. After all, the fully-independent sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and Goodyear Eagle tires are all part of a great back roads package.
The sale comes compete with nice paperwork, including the original warranty card, title documentation, and the owner's manual. This is the fully red and fully loaded C3 you've been waiting for, so don't let it slip away. Call now!
