Vehicle Detail
I have a Stingray Body Style 1982 Collectors Edition Corvette in great shape. This is the L83 350ci Cross Fire Injection with 4 speed automatic tranny. The odometer is only showing 10,150 miles and I assume from the condition that it is only 110,150 miles. Starts and Runs Well it has been garage kept. All maintenance has been done from spark plugs and wires down to the oil changes all in a timely fashion. Tires are in great shape and about 90% tread, paint is flawless with no chips, scratches, dents or dings, All glass in good shape. T-Tops are mirrored and tinted gold, No Leaks!! Power windows and Power locks work great. CD player works great but the speakers are ok, my next project was to upgrade the sound system if it does not sell. It is already wired for an amp and has a Bazooka tube connected but the Bazooka tube is not working correctly. I have one of the original bill of sales from 1982 and the owners manual. Going down the highway it performs well and picks up pretty quickly it has great handling and braking power. The transmission shifts smoothly and engine is strong. No weird noises from anywhere. No rust. The after market tint on the passenger and driver windows looks a little older and if I were to keep it I would re tint it. I have never had any problems with this vette always kept up on maintenance its just time to let her go and move on to another hobby. I know someone will be a proud owner of this awesome design of American Muscle Car engineering.

All Corvettes now came from the new Bowling Green plant. Production fell dramatically this year due to the anticipation of the brand new model soon to be released. The Collectors edition was the first Corvette to cost over $20,000. Other mechanical changes for 1982 included the addition of an in-tank electric fuel pump and a new solenoid-operated trap door in the hood that opened at full throttle for better breathing. The air filter, which had previously contained charcoal, reverted to plain paper. The exhaust system was extensively redesigned around a significantly smaller and lighter catalytic converter. Cosmetic alterations were limited to small "Cross-Fire Injection" labels above the front-fender vents and a two-tone paint option that recalled the 1978 Silver Anniversary treatment: silver over a deep burgundy, separated by a red pinstripe. For the generation's last hurrah, Chevrolet issued another commemorative "Collector's Edition" model. However, recalling its experience with bogus 1978 Pace Car Replicas, the division handled the 1982 series differently, building the special model only "as needed" to satisfy customer orders (though about the same number -- 6,759 -- would be built). Unique vehicle identification number plates were affixed to further deter someone from turning a standard car into the Collector's Edition. In many ways, the 1982 Corvette was the best C3 of all. Setting it apart were cloisonné emblems on the hood, rear deck, and steering wheel; silver-beige metallic paint with graduated shadow-like contrast striping on the hood and bodysides; bronze-tint glass T-tops; and finned "turbine" alloy wheels like the ones first seen on the 1963 Sting Ray. Inside were matching silver-beige leather upholstery and door trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and luxury carpeting. A less obvious difference was this version's frameless lift-up glass hatch, which had been omitted from the 1978 restyle because of cost considerations. Incidentally, it was not available on the base 1982 Corvette, though several aftermarket suppliers had turned to offering this as a conversion for "glassback" models. With 10 extra horsepower and again blessed with fuel injection, the latest small-block Corvette showed definite performance gains despite being hobbled by the economy-minded automatic transmission. Road & Track timed it hitting the quarter-mile in 16.1 seconds at 84.5 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds.
