The seller offers for sale this 1982 Chevrolet Corvette, powered by a 5.7-litre LS1 V8 engine, paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission. This C3 has been treated to a professional engine conversion by the Corvette Parts Service Center in Uden, replacing the original drivetrain with the modern LS1 V8 and matching 4L60E automatic. The result, according to the seller, is a fast yet relatively economical Corvette producing approximately 350 hp. The deep dark blue body is described by the seller as showing no osmosis or stress cracks, with only a few small traces of use, and the seller reports that the birdcage structure and chassis are solid and free of welding repairs. An attractive exhaust system with double end tips completes the look. Inside, the leather interior presents cleanly without tears or holes, and the dashboard is tidy and free of scratches. The car has recently been serviced and holds a valid inspection, and the odometer reads 2750 miles.
The C3 Corvette, built from 1968 to 1982, is the longest-running and most recognisable generation of America’s sports car, its dramatic coke-bottle curves inspired by the legendary Mako Shark II concept. The 1982 model year marked the very end of the line, with the final C3s combining the classic shape with the most developed chassis of the series. LS-swapped examples such as this one have become a popular and respected way to enjoy the C3: the modern all-aluminium LS1 brings reliability, effortless performance and everyday usability, while the iconic 1970s silhouette remains completely intact.
For the enthusiast seeking classic Corvette drama with modern-drivetrain confidence, this professionally converted C3 offers a compelling combination, ready to be driven and enjoyed rather than pampered.
