Details: In 1982and#44; if you showed up in a new Corvetteand#44; you were well and truly The Manand#44; and even today they engender a great deal of respect among the general public and with collectors. Representing the end of C3 productionand#44; this 82 Corvette is an extremely nice driverand#44; making it a fantastic find if youre looking for Corvette fun on a budget.

Code 24 Silver Blue metallic paint emphasizes the graceful curves of the C3 cars better than almost any other colorand#44; and with a recent paint joband#44; it takes on a very sleekand#44; clean look. The fresh paint is complimented by subtle pinstripes that work with the Corvettes styling and emphasize the dramatically curved fenders. As a cleanand#44; unmolested carand#44; all the panel gaps are factory correct and it fits together quite well overall. There are a few signs of use overalland#44; but a weekend spent buffing and waxing this car will pay big dividends at show time.

Light gray leather is the only way to travel in your icy blue Corvetteand#44; and the interior of this one is almost entirely original. It looks as though the sun has prematurely aged some of the interior piecesand#44; but overall its still functional and appealing. The power seats offer a comfortable look thats more sophisticated than youd expect from a C3and#44; and in 1982and#44; all Corvettes came one way: loaded. This car includes things like A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; power steeringand#44; and even power mirrors with a cool little joystick in the center console. This one also offers a tilt/telescoping steering columnand#44; power seatsand#44; and more recentlyand#44; and an AM/FM/cassette stereo that fits neatly in the original radios location. And in 1982and#44; the hatch finally became operableand#44; so access to the rear cargo area is a snap!

The engine is an L83 350 cubic inch V8and#44; which was the only engine available. Originally intended for the all-new C4and#44; delays resulted in it being the go-to powerplant for the last year of C3 production. Power was up over the 1981 modelsand#44; and it remains one of the better choices in late C3 performance. Its reliableand#44; smoothand#44; and runs just like it should. The engine bay is tidy and shows signs of regular maintenanceand#44; and the distinctive cross-fire fuel injection twin air cleaner assembly makes the 1982 cars easy to spot. Its backed by a first-year 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission (there was no manual transmission option in 1982) and the original rear endand#44; making this a fantastic highway cruiser. The chassis is as tidy as youd expectand#44; with only surface scale on the heavy partsand#44; and even the stock exhaust system is in good order. Aluminum wheels were a popular option and this car wears 255/60/15 blackwall radials.

This is a solid Corvette that offers a ton of potential and a shockingly affordable price. Whatever you decide to do with itand#44; this is a no-excuses car that delivers on the Corvette promise. Call today!
