Despite the Collectors Edition nameand#44; the special gray 1982 Corvette was anything butand#44; with a significant number of that years production being such vehicles. As a resultand#44; cars like this clean two-tone blue Corvette are somewhat rarerand#44; with a fraction as many being produced. And to manyand#44; the 1982 Corvette represents the pinnacle of C3 engineering and developmentand#44; making them the ones to own if youre a serious collector. The two-tone blue finish on this car is how it came from the factory (code 24/26 Silver Blue over Dark Blue) and looks awesome on the 82 models dramatic curves. Any C3 Vette is a sight to seeand#44; but by the time this car was builtand#44; the design had been refined to the point where it was instantly recognizable anywhere in the world. With no signs of previous accidents and a brilliant shineand#44; there will be no chance of keeping a low profile in this fantastic plastic Corvette. Panel fit is about what you got with your new Corvette in 1982and#44; goodand#44; but not perfectand#44; but its obvious that this car has always been properly cared for. The only demerit is a crack on the hood that came from the bracing underneathand#44; but otherwise this is one clean Vette. All the original emblems were reinstalledand#44; including the cross-fire injection badges on the front fenders which were unique to the 1982 model year. A matching blue leather interior offers deepand#44; plush power buckets that are every bit as comfortable as they lookand#44; and do an above-average job of keeping you in place during spirited maneuvers. They show light wear thats entirely in line with the cars age and mileageand#44; and absolutely no rips or tears in the material. All the gauges workand#44; and Im especially fond of the steering wheel wrapped in black leatherand#44; which is low-key and stylish. A 4-speed automatic transmission was a new fuel-saving measure in 1982and#44; and the only transmission available in the Corvette that yearand#44; so thats what sits in the center console. This one also features things like A/Cand#44; cruise controland#44; power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; and a tilt wheeland#44; adding to the Corvettes luxury/performance missionand#44; as well as a newer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit. Even the blue carpets are in very good shape with only light fadingand#44; which isnt surprising since this car has spent a lot of its life in warmand#44; dry Arizona. The Cross-Fire Injection was an early version of throttle-body fuel injectionand#44; and makes a niceand#44; round 200 horsepower in the 1982 Corvette. The engine bay in this one is nicely preservedand#44; befitting its mileageand#44; with the large dual air filter unit dominating the top of the engine itself. Its quite clean under the hoodand#44; suggesting that someone has always loved this carand#44; and everything is as the factory intended with none of the usual modifications you find on small block Chevys. Underneathand#44; its very clean with a correct 2-1-2 exhaust system that looks quite recent and more evidence of life lived in the desert. A composite leaf spring is another C3 innovation that would foreshadow the equipment in the upcoming C4and#44; and thatand#44; tooand#44; is still in place. 1982 Corvettes came with some of the most beautiful ally wheels of the periodand#44; with these surrounded with fat 225/70/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials. Forget the so-called Collectors Editionsand#44; this icy blue Corvette is the one to own if youre serious about the last of the C3s. Call today! |
