Finished in an attractive and rare two-tone color scheme of Silver Blue and Dark Blue (factory paint code 24/26), this Corvette is loaded with luxury amenities that make the final 1982 cars the most comfortable of all the C3 series cars produced.

A set of snug-fitting transparent removable T-tops make the interior seem more spacious and look fantastic on the outside. This Corvette rolls on its attractive factory optional and original cast aluminum wheels with white-lettered B. F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires.
1982 was the last year of the classic body style that was introduced in 1968 (the C3 Series) as well as the frame that was introduced in 1963. No manual transmission cars were built this year, the first time since 1955. The new "Cross-Fire" fuel injection introduced on this car has fuel injectors making up to 80 adjustments per second to enhance drivability and fuel economy. This was the first fuel injected Corvette in 20 years, it also raised horsepower by 10. A solenoid operates a small flap in the hood allowing fresh air into the engine during full-throttle acceleration. A new for 1982 4-speed automatic transmission also added to the Corvettes drivability. 1982 was the first year a Corvette base price exceeded $20,000.
