Price My Classic

For the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette, Chevrolet naturally wanted to come up with a special package. Initially, the idea was to make a limited run in Polo White with a red interior (just like the first 300 were in 1953), but that was met with less than exhilaration; as was the alternate, which would have been Aztec Gold. Consequently, Chevrolet went with a shade of the Corvette's most frequently selected color, which is red. The 50th Anniversary Edition Red had to be special, so it was done in a ruby-like shade of red that had Xirallic aluminum oxide metal flakes added to it for a unique reflectivity, and then it received a special tinted clear coat. The 50th Anniversary Edition units were also given a unique Shale interior, complete with special badging and embroidery. All the 50th Anniversary Edition Corvettes were given the new F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension, which provided a substantial improvement in overall ride. In the F55 suspension, the 'shock absorbers' (dampers) are not filled with hydraulic oil and inert gas: rather, they are filled with a special synthetic oil that contains millions of tiny iron balls, which are specially coated with to reduce friction and...

The pace cars had their own vehicle identification number to eliminate cloning. The body lines of the C3 Corvette are accented in this case by the classic two-tone Silver on Gray color option. This Vette is easy on the eyes and the car has been restored to a high quality (at great expense, might we add! ). Everything from bumpers to seals, lights and decals were replaced on the exterior to bring the factory look back. The drivetrain is the optional L82 with just 2000 miles since a top end rebuild on the motor. The engine was rated at 185hp when sold new and is mated to a close ratio 4 speed transmission feeding a posi-traction differential. You guessed it- the transmission and rear end were both also rebuilt. Aluminum wheels with B. F. Goodrich radial raised white letter tires hide disc brakes up front and a total suspension overhaul has this 1978 Corvette handling like a champ. Included in the interior options were air conditioning, power windows/locks, tilt/telescopic steering wheel and removeable T-Tops. The car currently has an aftermarket radio that has multi-function capabilities. The upholstery of this Corvette is truly noteworthy from the newly redone bucket seats covered in...

This award-winning Corvette took home the coveted NCRS 'Top Flight' award in 2008 for its excellence in the restoration and preservation.

With just 24,057 miles on the clock backed up by its clean Car Fax, this show stopping Corvette has all its original purchase and delivery documentation as well as its option sheet, build sheet and receipts for minor repairs and restoration needs over the years.

This beautiful example of a 1982 Corvette came equipped with a 5. 7L 350cid Cross-Fire V8 and Automatic Transmission.

Factory Options include: Six-way power bucket seats, power locks, removable glass tops, electric rear window defogger, Twin electric sport mirrors, Cruise control, Aluminum wheels, and Power antenna.

The Car-Fax is clean and no accidents.

The Car-Fax states there are currently 3 owners, with the second owner owning the car for almost 12 years. We consider this Corvette being a gem with the 18,032 actual miles, 6-speed manual transmission, and it's a 'FRC' Fixed-Roof Coupe. Fixed roof is referring to no removable top. It is becoming more and more rare to find a nice, clean, low mileage and taken care of C5 Corvette now a days.

Getting into the performance of this Corvette, the engine is a 5. 7 Liter V8 LS1. From the factory, horsepower is rated at 345hp and has the gearing to back it up.

By taking one look at the exterior of this Corvette, you will see the stunning Torch Red paint teamed with Black interior. Throughout the exterior a previous owner has installed 'PPF' which is Paint Protection Film to protect the vehicle from sun fade, scratches, and/or rock chips. To set off the Red Paint...

This might look like your average Corvette on the outside, but under the hood its packing a weapon. The LS1 V8 that comes stock is perfectly capable, but when you slap a $6,000 D1SC Procharger kit on it, things change just a little bit. The owner was mindful about the safety and reliability of the tune.

The exterior paint is believed to be original. Overspray is not noticeable anywhere and evidence of a committed owner is present in the form of hard to notice rock chips which have been touched up. The interior shows only minor wear with nothing major to note. The audio system has been upgraded with a 5 channel amplifier and 12' Rockford Fosgate subwoofer - this car is loud in every sense of the word!

Now, let's talk horsepower for a moment. With it's current tune the vehicle is putting right at 640 horsepower to the rear wheels! This is almost double the factory CRANK horsepower rating. This isn't just any old 640 horsepower. This is a pro-tuned 640 horsepower and should one desire there is room to increase that number with modifications to the fuel system. Despite the large horsepower number this car can be driven...
