Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1982
The last year of the body style that was introduced in 1968 as well as the frame that was introduced in 1963. No manual transmission cars were built this year, he first time since 1955. The new "Cross-Fire" fuel injection was introduced with computers controlling two fuel injectors making up to 80 adjustments per second to enhance drivability and fuel economy. This was the first fuel injected Corvette in 20 years, t also raised horsepower by 10. A solenoid operates a small flap in the hood allowing fresh air into the engine during full-throttle acceleration. A new automatic transmission has locking in all but first gear. The exhaust system was re-engineered to use smaller catalytic converters. 1982 was the first year a Corvette base price exceeded $20,000. This was the collector edition and 6,759 were produced. The collector edition was unique in the fact that it was a hatchback with the rear glass opening to allow access to the storage area. The collector edition also had unique bronze solar screened t-tops. Also the crossed-flags emblem read "Collectors Edition" around the edge. The seats and steering wheel continued the two-tone color scheme as well. The Bowling Green plant closed in October of 1982 to begin re-tooling for the new 1984 C4 Corvette.This car was a barn find in Tennessee. Since I have had it I have replaced, he full air conditioning system, ew master cylinder, rakes, alipers, xhaust and full flow catalytic converter, uel injectors, &N air filters, ew distributer and spark plug wires and spark plugs and head light vacuum canister, ew updated bluetooth radio system, ew speakers, ew t-top holder. It even still has the original spare tire. It is a 34 year old car so of course it isn't perfect, ut it is a true head turning where ever you drive it. The car is priced to sale quick do to the fact I'm out of space for my toys. I hate to see it go, ut now it's time for someone else to enjoy her. Serious offers bidders please.
