21-Years-Owned 1982 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the final year of the third‑generation (C3) Corvette, closing a 15‑year run that began in 1968. It introduced several technical updates that previewed the upcoming C4, most notably the new “Cross‑Fire Injection” system—Chevrolet’s first fuel‑injected Corvette engine since 1965. Paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, it aimed to improve efficiency during an era of tightening emissions standards. The 1982 model also featured revised computer‑controlled engine management and played an important transitional role, blending classic C3 styling with emerging technologies that would define the Corvette’s next generation.

This 1982 Corvette was acquired by the seller in 2003 and now shows under 52k miles. Finished in red over a color-coordinated interior, this C3 features removable glass T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, and fender vents. Power is provided by a fuel-injected 5.7L V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential, while braking is handled by discs at each corner. Additional features include 15” aluminum wheels wearing BFGoodrich tires, air conditioning, cruise control, and a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo linked to aftermarket speakers. This C3 Corvette is now offered with a clean CARFAX history report and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.
