What Do You Think Guys?

Been looking around for another C3, found this locally, '82, 59K on clock, a few quirky things that need attention, but overall mechanically in good shape, $13,500.

[Mike Mercury]

I like the 82. It was the latest in tech & mfgring of the entire C3 line.

We had an '82 CE; really liked it.

[Rikki Z-06]

Nice shape Hope quirky isn't the cross-fire injection.

Automatic + crossfire injection!

The '82 was my favorite body style iteration of the series, after the early bumper cars, of course. Black is my favorite, but that two tone is nice, and looks period correct. As to pricing, I have zero idea if it's fair or not.

Nothing says Corvette better than 200 HP brand new.

Looks good. I rebuilt a 75’ that had problems with the body mounts, trailing arms, etc. If those are ok, from my perspective it’s a good deal.

Love the color.

[MEANZ06]

Respect given, cool car but never liked the rubber bumpers of that era

‘82 was a kinder, gentle’r time. I think the national speed limit was still 55 mph?

Not a particularly exciting time but everyone knew which bathroom to use.

Looks like it's in great shape but I'm not liking that red interior.

Buy it and swap it out for Nutsack Tan.

[Learpilot]

I prefer the 70,71,72.

True. My dad got one after I was in the Navy. I drove it once when I was home on leave. I was spectacularly unimpressed. Ride was horrible and it had no power.

[Louie Detroit]

Buy that car.

[snide]

I'd drive that '82.

[ToolMaker]

We had an '82 CE, and at 49,999 miles the cam went. It was fixed by GM for free. They had some soft cams, so you may want to check if this one was replaced? I loved the opening rear glass on the CE.

[outrunm]

Looks all there and appears not to have been messed with too much. Will make a nice weekend ice cream getter.

[zeek]

Nice looking Vette! But....you should hold out for an '83....I hear there are some really low mile ones out there....

[MikeB]

Nice looking C3 Norm, but wouldn't be my choice.
I'm partial to the later C3s in the Stingray genre (pre-77 @ ~200hp),
with a manual transmission.

My favorite color also. (82)



My question on Norms is a year ago, would it have been selling for $13,500? Probably a few grand less. I've been looking around for an addition, but I am not paying inflation mark up.

82's look good but the engine was hit or miss if it was a good one and ran right.
Guess it would depend on the issues for price,
