1982 Corvette C3

Chevrolet Corvette 1982 Description

This is a great running vehicle with a clear title. Its time for new tires and an alignment but the vehicle is in great shape for over 30 years old. The odometer is 49k miles but add 100k to that as it has tripped 100k mikes. This car is for sale outside ebay and I resrve the right to remove the listing. No reserve. Buyer pays shipping. 1982 saw the debut of the “Cross-Fire Injection” fuel delivery system. This TBI (Throttle Body Fuel Injection) was not the type offuel injectioninstalled previously in some C1 and C2 Corvettes. It utilized two throttle bodies combined with Chevrolet’s computer control system. The engine produced 200hp (149kW) and was mated to a new four-speed automatic transmission with torque converters bypass in the top three gears. Compared to the previousTurbo-Hydramatic3-speed, the new 700-R4 transmission had a lower first and second gear for improved low-end acceleration, and a fourth gearoverdrivethat would reduce engine RPM by 30 percent at highway cruising speeds, resulting in better fuel economy. On the downside, the new transmission was not considered a strong unit and proved problematic.The final model C3 Corvette's published performance numbers were 0-60 in 7.9seconds-the quarter-mile in 16.1 @ 85mph (137km/h). This was the last year for 8-track tape availability and new “cross-fire injection” emblems appeared on front fenders. Nose and fuel door crossed-flags emblems changed to a more squared design. In 1983 Chevrolet knew this would be the last year of an entire generation of Corvettes and so commemorated the occasion by offering a Collector Edition with separate serial number sequencing, silver-beige paint, unique wheels patterned after the 1967 model's bolt-on alloys, and an operable rear hatch window.[36]
