1982 Chevrolet Corvette

1982 Chevrolet Corvette C3 – Cross-Fire 350 V8, T-Tops, Driver Quality

Offered here is a 1982 Chevrolet Corvette coupe, the final year of the C3 generation, finished in blue with a blue interior. Power comes from the factory 5.7-liter L83 V8 with Cross-Fire Fuel Injection, paired with the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Recent service includes a new alternator, new water pump, new radiator, new fan shroud, new master brake cylinder, and a new starter. A dual exhaust system is equipped, and the car rides on 15-inch rally wheels with knock-offs wrapped in 255/60 Goodyear Eagle GTII tires. A full-size spare remains mounted under the rear.

The body is finished in blue paint with a silver stripe fading from the front fender vents into the doors, a silver center hood stripe, and additional blue/silver pinstriping throughout the car. The car has been repainted and now shows stress fractures in the finish along with peeling visible in the driver's door jamb. The T-tops are in good condition structurally, though the interior liners are missing. The undercarriage displays typical surface rust and grime consistent with age.

Inside, the cabin features blue upholstery and a matching blue leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel. The seats show no rips or tears, while the carpeting has areas of discoloration. A plastic trim piece over the driver's power seat controls is missing, though the seat still functions properly. The dash remains in good condition with no fading or cracking. Equipment includes functional air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, an AM/FM radio with tape deck, and Kenwood 6x9 speakers mounted in the trunk area.

Overall, this Corvette is best described as a driver-quality example. It benefits from a number of recent mechanical updates that improve reliability and roadworthiness, while cosmetic details such as paint stress fractures, carpet discoloration, and minor missing trim reflect its age and prior use. This is not a showpiece, but a classic driver that can be enjoyed on the road as-is, with the option to refine over time.

This 1982 Corvette represents the last year of the iconic C3 “shark” body style, combining the period's distinctive looks with the ease of an automatic overdrive transmission and fuel-injected V8 power. With its T-tops, striking blue/silver finish, and a number of new mechanical components, this example is ready to be enjoyed as a weekend cruiser or an entry point into classic Corvette ownership.
