Being as we live here in AZ and we need 'cool-air-induction' allatime...no, it's not strictly needed for hot weather climes. It is computer controlled to open at WOT.
However, this is a one year assy. So it's unobtainium....I'd negotiate $400 off for the lack of.
I actually removed mine and carefully bagged and tagged it.
Good luck.

The purple is cool. There's a $5K premium (at least) for being at a dealership. Offer less than $10K, give them your contact info, and let them stew it over for a bit. The probably got this car as a trade-in.
The dealership posted more pictures of this cathis anyone sees anything that would look good or bad would you mind pointing them out before I make a trip to them. Thanks in advance
Bring someone to drive your car home, and be prepared to pay cash. At this point, you need to test drive it.
Good:
Looks clean and complete (except as noted by others above)
Interior has been refreshed.
Replacement radio installed without cutting the dash.
Bad:
Those tires are likely to be 10 years old. You should replace them before you drive home.
Still no trim tag photo? It does look more like dark claret, but that should have taken the dealer 30 seconds to check.
Automatic transmission (no other choice in 82, but be sure that's what you want).
Impossible to determine without seeing it:
Those are not stock C3 seats. You'll need to sit in them, and listen to the speakers in the headrests.
It is possible that the car needs every bushing replaced. You need to test drive it, and look underneath.
When I was shopping, my initial plan was to rent a little car one way, look at the Corvette, and make the call from there. As to whether buy/run away/drive it back.
After learning many of these things look great but are in no condition for a long drive due to tire age, reliability, unknown brake system condition, missing jack, lights not working, etc, I just decided to rent a car-hauler trailer from a local Uhaul and pull it back. I felt much better about that.
Ended up borrowing a car hauler from a buddy at the last minute.
As far as the car, it certainly looks great in photos and, if mechanically sound, seems to be priced fairly. Happy hunting!
