1982 Chevrolet Corvette

The first thing that strikes you about this 1982 Corvette is the color. It is believed that less than 723 coupes were painted in code-40 Silver Green, and this color was only offered in 1982. The shine of this silvery hue also coordinates nicely with the optional aluminum wheels that were a great addition to these later C3s. And speaking of the later cars, the fastback profile, deep chin spoiler, and ducktail end cap all add to the distinctive look that really makes these stand out. Besides just looking amazing, this one earns its place in history as the final year before General Motors shut the books on the C3. The Silver Green interior is nearly as rare as the exterior. The metallic leather seat package that was optional on late-C3s, and since it represents its period so well, we love to see it so well preserved. And more than just look good, this classic has appeal because its loaded with options like power windows, power locks, power drivers seat, power mirrors, tilt steering column, air conditioning (does need servicing), electric rear defrost, original AM/FM/cassette stereo, and just about anything else GM could include in the top-of-the-line Corvette. Tinted glass T-tops allows the driver to have an open-air experience on-demand with this Corvette. The 1982 drivetrain was a preview of the new C4 Corvette. The Cross-Fire Injected 350 cubic-inch V8 was torquey, powerful, and surprisingly efficient thanks to a new for 1982 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission as standard equipment. This is the original motor, and just like the rest of this car, its refreshingly stock. The offset air cleaner gives it away, and youll be impressed by how tidy everything is and how well-maintained all the vitals are. It starts quickly and easily, makes a fantastic rumble from the dual exhaust, and snaps through the gears with authority all making for an entertaining V8 cruiser. It also helps that there is a disc brake behind each one of those cool alloy wheels.
