1982 Chevrolet Corvette Base 2dr Coupe

1982 Chevrolet Corvette â?" Cross-Fire Injection, Two-Tone Silver and Burgundy, Red Interior, T-Tops Why This Car Is Special The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette holds a significant place in C3 history for a handful of reasons that serious collectors understand. First, 1982 was the final year of the third-generation Corvette, a body style that had been in production since 1968. Chevrolet knew it, and they sent the C3 out with a few notable upgrades rather than letting it coast to the finish line. The most important of those was the introduction of Cross-Fire Injection â?" a twin throttle-body fuel injection system that returned fuel injection to the Corvette for the first time since 1965. That alone makes the 1982 model year a legitimate milestone in Corvette history.
