The third-generation Corvette, known as the C3, holds a unique place in automotive history as one of the longest-running and most visually striking iterations of America's sports car. Launched in 1968 with its iconic "Coke bottle" styling inspired by the Mako Shark II concept, the C3 evolved significantly over its 15-year production run. The final year, 1982, marked the culmination of this generation, bridging the gap between the classic muscle car era and the more technologically advanced C4 that would follow. It was a year defined by its unique Cross-Fire Injection system, a two-throttle-body fuel injection setup that was a stepping stone towards modern electronic fuel injection and the only engine available that year. This particular 1982 Chevrolet Corvette represents the end of an era, a meticulously restored example of the C3's swansong. With a remarkably low 24,685 miles on the odometer, this coupe retains its original 5.7L Cross-Fire Injection V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, a testament to its careful preservation. The restoration ensures this final-year C3 presents in exceptional condition, ready to be admired and driven. For the enthusiast, this is an opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Corvette heritage.
