I am the second owner of this 1982 Corvette Sport Coupe. It still has its original dark claret paint (1 of 853), with original red leather interior. This car has just under 38,000 miles and starts, runs, shifts and stops like a new car. I have owned this car since June 1991. Id like to sell
only because Im moving to a smaller house with a smaller garage. The only non original items on the car are the KYB shocks, the stainless steel lined brake calipers, master cylinder, distributor cap/ coil (have originals along with distributor cap shielding cover) , plugs and wires.
Also, the original radio was replaced with an Alpine unit prior to my ownership, BUT I have the original radio IF you would like to change it back. The original paint has numerous chips and scratches BUT it shines like glass, the original bumpers have the typical age wave to them
here and there. Im sorry to say there has been a small touch up to the paint on the drivers side fender and door, done prior to my ownership... its an area about 2 foot by 2 foot that was not "blended" in professionally. I have lived with it over the years just because I dont want to
disturb any surrounding factory paint. This car has never had any body damage and has no frame rust, except for some surface rust to clips, and exhaust parts.. The interior looks excellent considering it is all original... the glovebox door has been signed by Zora Duntov, Larry
Shinoda and Dave McLellan.... with pix to prove it. However, the pix dont show Dave McLellan signing. I also have the window sticker. The exhaust system is all original and the mufflers could stand to be replaced BUT I feel that should be up to the new owner to choose which way to go with it.... stock or custom.
The A/C works BUT it needs to be recharged...... blows "cool" at best..... It comes with a very nice T-top case and factory service manual. You may find a "more perfect" 1982 Corvette on ebay BUT it will run the same and cost a lot more. This is just a really clean original
unmolested Vette signed by Zora Duntov, Larry Shinoda and Dave McLellan. This car has a clear illinois title BUT has lived in my garage in Oceanside, California since October 1994. Now for the "fine print". This car is located in Oceanside California 92057. Buyer is
responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. This is a 31 year old Chevrolet, therefore it is being sold "AS IS / WHERE IS" condition. There are no warranties written, expressed or implied. You or your agent are welcome to inspect the car in person.
Purchase, pay and drive home if you wish. Feel free to ask questions prior to bidding. $500 non refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours and the balance to be paid in cash within 3 days by the winning bidder.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets
Wed, Aug 20 2014Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
