Opinions on C3 Corvette (1981-1982) (Page 1/1) Pengu MAY 03, 07:30 PM I have recently come across a semi-running 1982 C3 Corvette, still need to check for rust but seller already has 2 or 3 other project corvettes, was willing to sell for $3800. Given the condition, it seems fair, although I'm aware of the lack of horsepower and addition of emissions in the later years, in addition to the Crossfire Injection. I was planning on 3800 swapping my Fiero, but I only have the space/time for one project at a time, and he entertained a trade. I do like the exterior and interior, but what are your opinions on this car, it would have to be more of a weekend driver than a semi-daily.
