1982 Chevrolet Corvette

Under the hood is the famous Cross-Fire fuel injection system, which was an early version of what we today call throttle-body fuel injection. The system is centrally located like a carburetor on top of the engine, but fuel is delivered under high pressure by injectors inside the throttle body housing and fed by a high-pressure fuel pump in the gas tank. The air and fuel was mixed in the throttle body and drawn into the combustion chambers just as it was with a carburetor. The result was a 350 cubic-inch Corvette motor that made 10 more horsepower than the year before—now up to 200—while simultaneously meeting the stricter emissions standards imposed in 1982.

Wearing almost all its original paint 1982 Chevrolet Corvette—only the nose has been repainted—this 32,945 mile Corvette is about as nice as drivers get. It hasn’t been restored to perfection, and it has been exercised enough to stay healthy throughout its nearly 30-year life, but was clearly babied the entire time. With all the ultra-high-dollar, 0-mile cars we get here at Best of Show Automotive, a clean one that you can drive and enjoy today really stands out. Ultra-low-mile cars are great for museums, but if you really want to enjoy your car, putting one with extremely low miles back on the road can often be a challenge. No, the very best cars are those that have been regularly exercised and enjoyed over the years.

In addition to being a super-desirable black on black car, this C4 is also loaded with options, including cruise control, power seats, power mirrors, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo system. The wheels are 15-inch polished aluminum with simulated knock-off hubs wearing 255/60/15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that look almost new. This car also comes with the original owner’s manual and a stack of factory service manuals.
