The '82 Vette has only one owner, who bought it from a dealer in 1983. 82 Vettes not delivered from factory to dealers until 1983 due to politics concerning gas rationing in the early 1980s where Corvette was a target of special attention.

Corvette engineers had to prove that Vettes were fuel efficient, note the Cross-Fire Injection fuel aspiration system in the video.
In that era of time the Mako Shark was a fascination to USA TV watchers, hence certain aspects of the car styling reflect features and shapes that are abstractions of a powerful, sleek, swift animal, a king of the open sea.
Some say the Corvette was the first sportscar designed by American automotive manufacturers.
1965-1982 is my favorite styling of Corvettes.
Search for more information about the fascinating history during the production time of the vehicle:
1983 had no Corvette production due to U.S. Congress cut-back on sports cars during The Oil Shortage. Chevrolet manufacturing had to prove to Congress during late 1982 - 1983 that Corvettes where fuel efficient before allowed to resume production. Since approval was long into 1983, '83 'Vettes were not produced on the General Motors assembly line. The concepts for the 1983 Vettes where rolled over into the 1984 Corvettes along with several items for fuel efficient technology.
Max listed speed on speedometer: 80 MPH due to 1980s Oil Shortage - 55 MPH, the Federal Speed Limit in that era required Corvette to have 55 on the speedometer at top dead center with larger characters than other speeds and with contrasting bright orange color. If you understand coding embedded in the tachometer you will be able to know speeds above 80 mph. Eddie has a large, thorough knowledge of the Corvette Dynasty.
Due to "Gas Embargo", US Congressional Committee inquiry postponed production of 1982 Vettes, therefore 1982 Corvettes came off the assembly line in 1983.
Corvette engineers had to prove fuel efficiency of Corvettes, since a US Congressional Committee was under the impression that the sports car was a "gas guzzler". In that era the US government issued "gas rations". (Terms in quotes yield fascinating history via internet search.)
Corvette engineers provided statisical evidence that Vettes where fuel efficient with 25-30 miles per gallon of fuel consumption, therefore General Motors was permitted to resume production of the fabled American sport car in 1983, with first production cars slated for 1984. There were no 1983 Corvette production cars.
