Tossing around the idea of changing over the automatic to a 4 speed in a 1980 L-82 C-3. Beings that model wasn't available with a 4 speed what would it do to the value of the car by changing it over. I know it isn't a high value collector car but would this put more value or less value to the car. I just like the idea of a 4 speed in a older corvette.

It's your car , do what you want. . I don't see that it would lower the price but that being said I don't think that the amount of money that would be required to purchase the change over items would ever be recovered on a future sale.

But then if money is a big issue, you're in the wrong car.
I have a twin 1980 L-82 of yours and the TKX is on my list of things to do. The current market does not put much of a value on the stock rubber bumper Vettes so they are probably more valuable as drivers. I struggled with the idea of modding mine for a long time but it is time now to make some changes. Jump on in, the waters fine.
