The final year of the C3 generation, the 1982 Corvette holds a unique place in the model's storied history. While the third-gen Stingray had evolved significantly since its groundbreaking 1968 debut, the '82 model marked a poignant farewell to the iconic coke-bottle styling and removable T-tops that defined an era. It was also notable for introducing the "Cross-Fire Injection" system, a technically advanced (for its time) throttle-body fuel injection setup that offered improved drivability and efficiency over its carbureted predecessors. This year also saw the return of a true Corvette hallmark: a functional hatchback, offering enhanced practicality for the first time in a C3. This particular 1982 Chevrolet Corvette, with 70,874 original miles, presents an honest canvas for an enthusiast looking to preserve or gently restore a piece of Corvette history. Its original paint tells a story of four decades, and under the hood lies the numbers-matching 5.7L Cross-Fire Injection V8, paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. While the interior shows its age with seats in need of reupholstering and a few missing trim pieces, the core mechanicals are sound, with the car starting reliably, running smoothly, and maintaining proper operating temperatures. This is an opportunity to acquire a largely original, driver-quality example of the last C3 Corvette, ready for its next chapter.
