1982 Corvette Facts

 The 1982 Corvette was the last of the third generation (C3) Corvettes.

·         The 700R4 Automatic Transmission was the only transmission offered. It featured a torque converter clutch which operated in the top three gears.

·         Hoods on 1982 Corvettes had a solenoid operated door which directed fresh air directly into the air cleaner during full-throttle.

·         Crossfire Injection was introduced in 1982 Corvettes. It utilized two injectors controlled by a computer capable of making 80 adjustments per second. This resulted in better driveability, and fuel economy.

·         1982 was the first complete year to be produced at the new Bowling Green, Kentucky plant.

·         The exhaust system of the 1982 Corvette was redesigned with a smaller and lighter catalytic converter. The exhaust pipes leading into the converter were redesigned to deliver hotter exhaust gases to the converter to increase its efficiency.

·         To honor the 1982 Corvette's status as the last of the C3's, Chevrolet offered a special "Collectors Edition". The Collector Edition differed from the standard Corvette by having a higher level of standard equipment. In addition, the Collector Edition had a lifting rear glass hatchback., and special aluminum wheels modeled after the bolt-on aluminum wheels on 1967 Corvettes. A special exterior and interior color scheme was adopted, and special emblems were also produced. To keep counterfeit copies from being made, the Collector Edition had a "0" in the sixth digit of the VIN, where the standard Corvette had an "8" in this position of the VIN.

·         The Collector Edition was the first Corvette to exceed $20,000.00 base sticker price. The base price for a Collector Edition Corvette was $22,537.59.

·         The basic body shape of the 1982 Corvette dates back to 1968, and the chassis dates back to 1963.
