Car history:
Despite the “Collector’s Edition” name, the special gray 1982 Corvette was anything but, with a significant number of that year’s production being such vehicles. As a result, cars like this bright red Corvette are somewhat rarer, with about 1/3 as many being produced. And to many, the 1982 Corvette represents the pinnacle of C3 engineering and development, making them the ones to own if you’re a serious collector. The bright red finish on this one is only a few months old and looks awesome on the ’82 model’s dramatic curves. Any C3 ‘Vette is a sight to see, but by the time this car was built, the design had been refined to the point where it was instantly recognizable anywhere in the world. With no signs of bodywork and a brilliant shine, there will be no chance of keeping a low profile in this fantastic plastic Corvette. Panel fit is about what you got with your new Corvette in 1982, good, but not perfect, but it’s obvious that this car has always been properly cared for. All the original emblems were reinstalled, including the “cross-fire injection” badges on the front fenders which were unique to the 1982 model year. This car also sports a fresh $750 set of T-top panels, and the rest of the glass has a subtle tint that makes the red paint really sizzle. A matching red leather interior offers deep, plush power buckets that are every bit as comfortable as they look, and do an above-average job of keeping you in place during spirited maneuvers. They show light wear that’s entirely in line with the car’s age and mileage, and absolutely no rips or tears in the material. All the gauges work, and I’m especially fond of the steering wheel wrapped in matching red leather, which is unusual and stylish. A 4-speed automatic transmission was a new fuel-saving measure in 1982, and the only transmission available in the Corvette. This one also features things like A/C, cruise control, power windows, power locks, and a tilt wheel, adding to the Corvette’s luxury/performance mission, as well as a newer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit. The Cross-Fire Inejction was an early version of throttle-body fuel injection, and makes a nice, round 200 horsepower in the 1982 Corvette. The engine bay in this one is nicely preserved, with the large dual air filter unit dominating the top of the engine itself. It’s quite clean under the hood, suggesting that someone has always loved this car, and everything appears to work as it should, from the power steering to the A/C. Underneath, it’s clean and rust-free, and the composite leaf spring is another C3 innovation that would foreshadow the equipment in the upcoming C4. And while some 1982 Corvettes came with alloys, the traditional chrome Rallys always look awesome, especially when surrounded with fat 245/60/15 Dunlops. Forget the so- called “Collector’s Editions,” this bright red Corvette is the one to own if you’re serious about the last of the C3s. Price: US $13,995.00
