The third-generation Corvette, known by its C3 designation, launched in 1968 and carried the torch as Chevrolet's halo sports car for an impressive fifteen years. Its iconic "Coke bottle" styling, inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car, became synonymous with American performance throughout the muscle car era and into the 1980s. The 1982 model year marked the end of this long-running generation, making it a significant collector's item as the last of the C3s before the radical C4 redesign. These final C3s featured a distinctive "Collector Edition" for some, but all benefited from the cross-fire injection system, a precursor to modern fuel injection, aiming to balance performance with evolving emissions standards. This particular 1982 Chevrolet Corvette T-Top stands as a remarkably preserved example of the C3's swansong. With a mere 27,881 original miles on its odometer, this coupe showcases its original condition. Under the hood resides the 5.7L (350ci) V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission, delivering a quintessential late-C3 driving experience. The removable T-tops offer an open-air feel, enhancing the classic Corvette cruising appeal. This is an opportunity to acquire a low-mileage piece of Corvette history, representing the culmination of the celebrated C3 era.
