Vehicle description
Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale presents this 1982 Corvette "shark body C3" collectors edition. The final year of production in 1982, Chevrolet decided to send the C3, or Shark Body Corvette, out with a bang. To celebrate the end of the run, GM offered the Chevy Corvette Collector Edition with a higher level of standard trim and a number of features exclusive in the Corvette line. Painted in Silver Beige Metallic with pinstripes and graduated side and hood decals. The aluminum wheels resembled the vanned "bolt-on" wheels of the 1967 model year. It featured an operating frameless glass rear hatch, a first for the Corvette along with shaded glass t tops adding to the overall exterior look and color scheme. The 1982 Chevy Corvette was also the first to feature fuel injection since the demise of Rochester mechanical fuel injection in 1965. The new system was called Cross-Fire Injection, and featured twin injectors regulated by Chevy's Computer Command Control system backed by a 350 cubic-inch V8 4 speed automatic.
