1982 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette really enjoy its classic look and fun driving experience. They appreciate features like the glass t-tops and engaging performance, although some wish for more power and better ride comfort. Many find it easy to maintain and love how it turns heads on the road. On the downside, a few drivers mention issues with the ride quality and horsepower, as well as the need for some repairs."
A fun car to drive. Definitely an attention getter when you are out on the road. The car handles very well. It has very responsive steering and braking. Is a little lacking in the horsepower department. The early 80's wasn't know for big horsepower engines. Overall, still a fun car to drive and to own.
February 5, 2012aside from the stock automatic transmission (only transmission offered on the model yr) she's perfect, starts every time, looks cooler than spit, very little lag on the trans (albeit it took some tinkering) and 'vettes have only gotten better since.
September 7, 2010I bought the car. It is my first Vette and it was garage kept and looks like new. I like the ride and I love driving it.

June 22, 2007First year of crossfire injection. Haven't had any problems with it and it gives it good milage. Engine should have more power. This was original two toned blue, but it has been repainted in some other blue colors that makes it alot prettier than the original.
September 29, 2010A real head turner, this was a beautiful piece of art. I loved taking the t-tops off and just cruising. The acceleration left a little to be desired (cross fire injection?) and the gas mileage was, of course, crap. But man, this car was so much fun it was worth it to me. I hated to sell it when I came to Europe...
August 18, 2008It is identical to my 81 corvette I really like it
February 22, 2021I've had new and I have had old Vette's... I like the old the best. This one is a keeper it's looks are irresistible, it's condition impeccable. I'm thinking rather replace it with something new, I'm gonna modify and soup up the mechanicals
July 23, 2014Performance after I did somethings (pistons, cam, crank, etc.) was unbelievable. Handling could be better though. Its an 82'... things are gonna start to go. The car appelas to me a lot. It is a matter of preference, but it is a sporty looking car that will get a lot of looks. The cars american so maintenance is simple and cheap if you can't do it yourself. Gas mileage is low but what would u expect from a sports car. This car is very very fun.
February 23, 2011I love the glass t-tops, the leather interior, the variety of the colors for the collector's edition. It's one cleek and sexy machine!
June 4, 2008Mine needs work but i like It. It has been sitting since 2000. I need a good mechanic in my area i think to look it over. speedometer broke guy told me he replced 2 times and everytime he went over 85 it would break,,,dont see any reason to fix lol. also noticed idle erratic and bangs hard in gear sometimes.
