Description

Only one year ever saw the C3 Corvette fitted from the factory with an overdrive automatic, and this is it. This 1982 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in factory-correct Red (code 70L) with a full repaint that keeps the classic T-top silhouette looking crisp and cohesive. Factory-style 15" wheels wear a set of P255/60R15 Cooper Cobra radials that match the stance well. With gloss-matched T-tops, clean glass, and black rocker guards, this vehicle nails the C3 finish from every angle without going overboard.

The cabin carries a consistent factory-correct Dark Red finish with restored vinyl bucket seats, red carpet, and matching door panels. A wood-rim steering wheel breaks up the monochrome tone and adds some vintage flair. A center console houses the shifter and adds structure to the seating layout. The upgraded Pioneer head unit includes CD, Bluetooth, AUX, and USB inputs, adding a bit of modern usability without disturbing the original layout. The dash and trim panels reflect careful restoration, maintaining an authentic '82 look throughout.

Power comes from the numbers-matching L83 350 V8, now upgraded with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, replacing the factory crossfire setup. It's paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic-the only year the C3 came with an overdrive auto from the factory. Chrome valve covers and alternator add some shine under the hood. The suspension retains stock-style coils up front and air shocks in the rear. Power disc brakes on all four corners and power steering are in place. Exhaust exits through a dual-to-single-to-dual setup with aftermarket mufflers and a central cat.
