Default My 1982 Corvette Stingray, only 8700 miles

I have a 1982 Corvette Stingray with 8700 original miles, it is like brand new and drives amazing! Very hard to find Black on Black! I know they are automatic, ( I sell Chevrolets and I am used to putting the tranny info in my ads, lol) I should have put a comma after the black on black, lol. I just was saying the black on black is hard to find, most are red interior, took me 5 years to find black on black.

Looks like a nice little car. I'm guessing a previous owner added reproduction Pace Car style wheels to it. (Original wheels didn't look that well polished )

Nice. Those tires look like they have more than 8700 miles on em, though - or he lived life a quarter mile at a time.

I sold a C6 Z06 with just over 7000 miles on its third set of tires 2 years ago...

Are they not? I thought they were, I have seen several for sale as either coupe or stingray, so I assumed they all are? lol

The whole discussion about this is another topic entirely, but "coupe" has no relation to "Stingray."

All 1982s originally came as coupes.

Chevrolet stopped using the "Stingray" badge designation for Corvettes, which meant nothing anyway, in 1976.

I know...I was just messing around...But yeah one of the sweetest I have seen and of course perfect colors.
I did have a black on black 81...close, but mine was a tired driver not pristine.
