What do you think this Corvette is worth?!
WD - Aprub! Po 😎👍👌🎵🎶🎸
Priceless! If I had one I would never sell it.
Almost there. 11k subs to go.
what you guys do is amazing!!
30 grand..
Honestly? Those cars definitely earn a spot at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky! The '82 especially, one of the last C3's that is a time capsule! In my opinion, it needs to be put right next to the only 1983 C4 Corvette.
This one was built in Bowling Green from what I was told!
@@WDDetailingIt should definitely be donated or sold to the museum but that depends on the owner!
And the center hubcap is exactly what it's called, a center cap! It's essentially a smaller hubcap that covers the lug nuts or the center of the rim, they were common from the 40's all the way to the 70's or 80's since plastic hubcaps and alloys became common.
@@WDDetailingBowling Green is the home of Corvettes! There’s even a gorgeous Bowling Green color (dark green) that Corvette used to honor it.
@@kylechandler2242 I got introduced to the National Corvette Museum and Bowling Greek via Roadkill when they made a roadtrip in a clapped out '75 C3 'Vette to see the sinkhole that damaged a couple. So far they restored three of them, the next one should definitely be the 40th Anniversary Ruby red coupe.
I would like to see them running
Such a shame that owner of those "investment" cars didn't even bother to cover them and let mice poo inside ;/ Can't really understand
He's obviously mental why would anybody do that if they weren't
Did you see the 1st video of these guys cleaning the cars The garage door broke The air conditioning broke he couldn't dk anything because he didn't have enough money at the
time
"This is my 33 mile Mouse nest"

@@heidi6573 Enough money? How much is cover foil in home depot? 😂
Came here from someone who stole your video ❤
Me too 😂

I do wish there was like a companion channel showing the cars either driving or being sold, like a prologue.
Epilogue
I think the end is the end. I’m pretty sure they just stay in the garage. He probably owns them to have them not drive them or sell them.
It's crazy that this is a can't wait Saturday Morning show for me !!! reminds me of waking up as a child eating cereal watching cartoons. Now as an adult I eat cereal and wait to watch this lol!!!!!
I love this comment!
I’m a 68 year old lady who has no interest in cars except to get me where I’m going. I’ll drive anything if it’s in working order, clean, and if the AC works…but…I’m in love with these videos because I love seeing something come back to life after being neglected for so long. These guys are amazing in their skills and attention to detail. One of my favorite channels after Mid-West Magic Cleaning. That guy cleans houses like these guys clean cars
This car better go into a museum! Hopefully the Corvette museum in Kentucky. This vehicle is a prime example of a car that should be in a museum
I lived in Ohio, my neighbor was a farmer. He’s passed now. He always had a corvette in his barn. Every two or three years, he’d trade it in and buy another new one. He made annual trips to Bowling Green Ky to the museum.
Wow
In 1986 I found a 1963 split window corvette. The license plate had an insurance decal from 1971. I spotted the car down this long gravel driveway. It was in an open carport with the nose barely sticking out. The car had a geen slime growing on the hood. Also just sitting on the hood was mounted deer antlers lol. I went to the house door to inquire about the car, I mean who wouldnt have wanted to buy that car. This little old lady, in probably her 80s came to the door...OMG my heart was beating so fast...I thought this car is mine. Well this sweet little old lady proceeds to tear a strip off me. "Get outa here you young punk" I am not sure if she had a bad experience with someone else or what. I was really polite and explained I was interested in buying it. The car was her husbands (he passed away) and she didnt want to sell it.
Darn
She told me to go away and called me a young punk.… So anyways I started blasting. And now I’m the owner of a nice Corvette
@@noelht1 WOW! What an awesome thing to say.. Just remember the person you wish to blast? May blast back faster! Even an 80 year old woman, she got to that age by outsmarting dummies like yourself!
@@noelht1Class…
she did you a favor.
We need to hear the story of this guy if he’s alive you need to interview him. Maybe he could explain why he would abandon these cars in the garage for so long. I think it would make for an interesting interview.
Quite a few people put away the 1978 Pace Cars (and the 1982 Colllectors Edition) as "investments." Not the best idea all things considered. So abandoned is a bit harsh, though he could have done a better job with pest control and maybe car covers.
they can't because the whole video is fake.
A lot of speculators thought their new Vettes would be great investments and there were a lot put away with delivery miles on them.
Later C3 Vettes turned out to be terrible investments. Plenty of 78 Pace Cars out there with super low miles that aren't worth big money at all. Dime a dozen on Bringatrailer.
@@G45H3R I would love for you to explain how you think this is fake.
@@MrToySoljathey set it up for TH-cam video what else could he mean?
3 Corvettes, and the last one has 33.3 miles on!? Looks like Numerology got your back. Incredible Find! WoW!
Synchronicity at its finest! Thank you for watching !!!
Weirdo
Tf☠️@@eddyk3
Or maybe he was a 33rd degree Free Masonic farmer lol
Don't forget it's a C3...
When I was a teenager, this exact car I had as a poster. The 1982 L82 corvette was and still is my favorite style vette. It's not the fastest, but the design has always caught my eye. Beautiful job on cleaning this one and the other vettes too.
You couldn't get an RPO code "L82" engine in a 1982 Corvette. The only engine was the RPO code "L83" 350 Crossfire (aka Misfire) V8.
I was wishing so much to see that beauty get a mechanical tune up , new fluids and see it start up. Great Video! :)
Thank you for bringing us this series. It's been awesome to watch these cars being brought back to life!
We had so much fun! Wait til you see what’s planned for the next few weeks. Even crazier
I am not a Corvette guy, but this is just a gorgeous car. The design, the appearance, the subtle gradient color or the seats door panel and decals is awesome
I agree with OP. Its a fine machine in style and form, the engines were a horror, if my memory serves me aright. Why "Detroit" abandoned elegance and automotive style, is beyound my pay grade
Pretty sure this Corvette series will be the greatest moment in channel history
Feels so cool to see a old car in brand new condition
Its not even close to like new condition
@@MrBlaze256 I was just sayin
My grandpa has the 78 silver anniversary, and it’s one of my favorite cars ever
Cross Fire injection came on the 82, then the 84 C4. In 85 the switched to the Tuned Port Injection. The Cross Fire injection quickly got the nickname of "Miss Fire Injection"!
You mean Cease Fire...LOL
I remember that name from the 80's. They never went back to crossfire after having that on any of their cars.
Had an 82 Camaro Z28 with a Crossfire injection in it. Never had an issue with it. Great sounding car too. Jam on the gas, hood scoops open up, and the sound was amazing
Cross fire injection was only used on the Vette, Camaro and firebird and had problems. Most of the cars that I worked on that were cross fire I changed to a carburetor. They were only 200 Horsepower, it was like driving with the parking brake on.
That is the truth
I’m not really too much of a car guy but the care and love that you guys put into these cars just puts a smile on my face
The owner is incredibly lucky to have your generous services on their cars!
You mean the second owner since he said "he found them in a barn". Sketchy. Why can't they ask the "owner" why he just parked them....hmm.
@@5thhorseman982 The Original owner is probably Deceased
Chevy did actually produce only 1 ‘83 corvette in the C4 style. Last I saw it was white and on display in Bowling Green, KY if I’m not mistaken (without cheating and googling).
The crossfire injection was a leap forward for the Vette and seemed like a rocket ship at the time but was prone to problems and quickly discounted and replaced. Great job guys!
They actually didn’t produce an 83, they were only prototypes. That’s why there is only one, all the others were destroyed and this was supposed to it even was dismantled just not tossed.
This was GM's first attempt at electronically injecting a Corvette. Some of the 60s C2 big blocks had mechanical fuel injection. C&S Corvettes in Florida calls the crossfire injection "Ceasefire Injection" because it was so trouble prone. It only lasted a couple of years on the C4s then replaced by an entirely different fuel management arrangement. From what I've read and heard, 1984 1st year C4 had all kinds of problems, mechanical and electronic.
Truly appreciate your reels on Facebook and TH-cam outstanding job on 82 Corvette, turned out remarkable. Looking forward to future episodes.
You asked about Crossfire Injection. It was basically the EFI equivalent to a 69 Camaro Z28 302 (327 bore, 283 stroke) with dual staggered carbs. That 302 was the small block RPM master at about 8500RPM into the blood. The cool thing about the Camaro is the 2 660 Holley carbs, staggered dual carb intake and everything else came in the trunk for either the dealership or owner to install as it came running with a single Holley on a normal intake. Corvette ran Crossfire in 84 for the newer C4 body style where it was retired for Tuned Port Injection in 85. Crossfire wasn't a bad setup, and had low HP, but a fair amount of torque. Like a dual carb setup, it was crucial to keep the same vacuum on both banks.
I owned an 82 Corvette. Mine was not the anniversary car however. The speedometer were mandated not to go over 85 MPH by the government at that time. They when still encouraging energy conservation? Note the highlighted 55 MPH. The car would go faster than 85! The 82 anniversary back window would come up like a trunk. The other Corvettes didn’t. The radios had the option of 8 track, cassette or CB radio. Cross fire fuel injection came out that year. It was rated at a mind blowing 200 Hp.
Very cool looking car. Not a fun car on long trips. No space for luggage and not a soft ride.
It’s sad the owners didn’t do a better job of persevering these cars. Car covers, mothballs, starting them at least twice a year and driving them around the block would have done more good than just letting them sit. Personally, if you can’t drive it, why have it.
Yes, you are correct regarding the speedometer. I bought a new one in 1980 and the speedometer only went to 85 but certainly could go faster. Mine was white with the new burgundy interior. To this day, I still really like that burgundy vs red. Just my opinion.
i love mine on long trips, loads of fun! rides wonderfully, i have this exact car.
Sure hope we get to see vids of the work to come for mechanical/undercarriage/etc to these 'vettes. What a find these are.
Thank you! I knew we were using cassette tapes by this time, so seeing the 8 track on it confused me. And I had no idea that people still used CBs in 82! I thought they went out of style by that time.
I worked at BFGoodrich in Akron, Ohio in the late 70's into the late 80's. One of my buddies south of Akron had a neighbour with 1978 pace car and it was put away with 7 miles on it...I've owned 4 of these cars. The nose was hit, remember it was stored since new on a farm. The emblam on the back probably lifted because of heat in the garage, again summer heat and humidity in NE Ohio. Ecklers in Titusville will have all the trim/molding parts you will need...thank you for washing that car...
Your work is just NEXT LEVEL!!! No one does this kind of stuff and I just fricken LOVE it
Of all the shows and cars that you have cleaned up, I loved this one the best. Awesome job!
I was in my 20’s when this car was around. Awesome.
Beautiful job, as always! I don’t know why you guys are like off-camera, but my young boys love watching your videos. I so appreciate that you portray hard work and good character, teachability, kindness, and excellence. What a great example to them! My boys’ favorite thing to do is to pretend to freak out when you spray with the foam. They always joke that you paint all your cars white. 😂
I own an 82 CE Vette. These are such fabulous vehicles with the gradient graphics and interiors. I'm glad this one got saved!
Is he right that it has an 8 track on it? I'm 56 and I know we were using cassette tapes by 82. Shouldn't it have a cassette player?
@@DR-mq1vn you're absolutely right. The 82 Vettes had 8 track players available, but the CE variants came standard with cassette players with an optional CB radio.
@@tarantinoland.automobiles Thanks for answering and clearing this up for me.
@WD Wow guys, after watching all three episodes, I am speechless for many reasons. First, that is an awsome find of three Beauty`s, that takes me back to my youth. I am from Bremerhaven, Germany and I am half American. We were called War-Baby`s. So, I had a lot to do with Americans, because the Carl-Schurz-Kaserne (all armed Forces) was in Bhv. and the Lucius-D-Clay-Kaserne was in Garlstedt (2nd Armoured Division), which is in the suburbian area of Bremen. I've been a lot on Post and also played American Football with the Bremerhaven Seahawks. We practised at CSK and it was real easy for me to get on Post. As a child, I got to see a lot of Vettes, because Bremerhaven was the main Port for deliveries from the US to all US Services, all over Europe. Bremerhaven was also one of 4 Port-City`s, where folks from Europe imigrated to the US, back in the days. The others were Cuxhaven, Emden and Hamburg. Bremerhaven is still the biggest Import and Export Terminal for Cars in Europe. I used to work for a Car Dealer, who checked the Cars, before they left to the US and also, if they arrived. Including Service-Member Cars. Many were among them, but a Corvette was always a High-Light for me. Back to the Vettes. I used to do a lot of hitch hiking from Garlstedt to Bremerhaven, if I missed the Bus then. One day, an American Forces member left the Post and he picked me up in his Silver C3, which also had Silver interior, which I never saw before. What a free ride guys. That stayed always in my memories, because I got me a C3 Model-Kit in 1/32 and I painted it the same way that C3 was. I kept it until today and I am thinking of doing a scratch build out of the model, to run it on my Slotcartrack. Two friends of mine had a C1, which I was also a fan of, like the C2 as well. But for me, the C3 was the most sharp looking Corvette ever, until the C8 came out. The C4 and C5, I never liked that much, but the C6 really hit it, followed by the C7, which was the last Vette with a front-engine. Many don`t think the C3 was cool over here, because mainly Pimps bought and drove it over here. Therefore it has a bad reputation. Yeah, what ever. 🙂
To me, it is the most beautiful looking Car ever, in terms of American Cars. Period. Good job guys and of course, I left a Subscription after running into the 1st of those 3 Beauty`s being freshed up by you guys. Good luck on one million Subscribers and greetings over to you 🙂
Very cool what you did with the flag. Shows class and respect.
Having owned a mid 70’s Vette and having the whopping 200hp they look great but are slugs for performance. I sold mine in the mid 80’s and recently replaced it with a C6 with double the HP. Wow, what a difference 👍. I fell in love with Corvettes when a got to drive my aunts 64 convertible with the 327 back in the 70’s when I was 16. I was hooked. Whatever year they are from they are all timeless 👍👍👍👍👍
I had a total of seven Corvettes & the 82 Limited Edition was one of them and it remains one of my favorites (Definitely over the preceding 78 models). My first was a 74 Stingray convertible with a big block 454 cubic inch, 4 on the floor, 400 HP and the vintage Stingray side pipes!
The brings back memories. My sister had one of these 82 Collector's Edition. The Crossfire injection only lasted two years; on the 82 and 84 Corvettes (No 83 as mentioned in the comments). Crazy how the hatch weatherstripping rotted out, but the door seals seemed OK.
Amazing. You guys need to interview the owner. What an amazing collection.
Love watching these. What an incredible collection of low mileage Corvettes. You guys rock. Thanks!
I remember the 85 MPH speedometers. My family had a 1980 'Vette that we had built up. My brother had it out on 275 and opened it up, he had the needle buried, when he got pulled over. The cop asked him if he knew how fast he was going. He said "I've got know idea, the speedometer only goes up to 85." The cop started laughing and handed his license back and said "I'm letting you off this time but the punishment is I won't tell you what I clocked you at." and walked away.
1979 Speedometer Law
By the 1st of September, 1979, the government added the law on the 85 mph speedometer. This was a regulation that stated that all cars should have a maximum speed reading of 85 miles per hour, and there should be an emphasis on the 55-mph mark, like a square or a circle around the number.
Some car manufacturers tried to go around the law by placing 85 at the side but putting extra lines after it to show higher speeds. Finally, by 1982, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration eliminated any rules concerning the speedometer or odometer because there was a low chance of this increasing fuel efficiency.
This is a common occurrence: owner buys an interesting car (final year or collector model), barely drives it, sticks it in a barn or garage, and then hopes when someone discovers it they can get top dollar
Seen these weapons more than cars. Dirty Harry movies. Everyone had to have a Dirty Harry 44 magnum. They fired the 44 magnum exactly once, put it back in its box, the magnum never saw the light of day again.
And because car been sitting mice made a home.
They don't deserve top dollar because they ruined the car by not taking care of it in the first place. Put it in a clean garage, wash it everyone in awhile. This is so sad.
@@hollyboerhave8543 ont get top dollar because of the crossfire injection it was the poverty pete of C3 corvettes
doesnt matter how clean rodents will find their way in to sleep off the winter
Wait it has a max 80 mph tach? Thats honestly a bit disapointing for a car looking like it would got fast...
I think I’ve seen every corvette online and this one is my favorite. Maybe not the best engine but I love the style
Wow, this really takes me back. I bought a used '81 Vette in 1986 that had only 14,000 miles on it. Dark Blue with a Silver Leather interior. It was a 350. 4-speed with a 4-barrel CARBURETOR. After checking the VIN, I discovered it was one of the very last Vettes made at the St. Louis plant before they moved production to Bowling Green. I loved it, except for the silly 85mph speedometer. I drove it as my daily driver for 4 years until. . .It was hit TWICE in one month by drunk drivers. Once while parked under a carport at an apartment complex and the next time while I was driving it. I hadn't even had the damage from the first drunk fixed yet. Getting my money from the insurance company was more difficult and took longer than it should have, and I ended up selling it in damaged condition to a guy who restored Vettes. Watching you work on this '82, which looks very much like my '81, made me wish I still had my old Vette. It only had about 44,000 miles on it when the drunks took aim at it. With one more year to pay it off, I was gonna park it and have fun detailing it while keeping the mileage pretty low. Oh well, just wasn't meant to be I guess. But I really enjoyed watching you work on this one!
The great thing about Corvettes the body panels are fiberglass so no worries about rest on the body for the most part. This is coming out very well.
Oh man, I am very stoked to see you get the 1 million subs! You guys deserve it!
Nice Corvette with some pretty old-school design.
"Cross-Fire" Injection was Chevys intro into fuel Injection after years of carborated engines. After the horsepower wars of the late 60s, the early 70s saw the rollback of high horsepower engines and the trend for somewhat better fuel economy after the Oil Embargo of 72'-73'. The Cross-Fire was supposed to offer power and better economy. It didn't do either very well and was only around for 82' on the Vette and 82'-83' Camaro.
Thanks for sharing this adventure and the others before. You have truly found your calling. From your book, which was quite thought provoking in a way that made me think deeply to this video. Your insight into the past and bringing it to light captivates imagination.
I used to detail cars as a side job. You guys do great work. Could I recommend something? Clean under the hood and the cowl area before you spray the car down so it’s not all wet and soggy.
bro the intro to this video gave me chills. your audio/ editing is insanity. every week I say this is my favorite drop, you guys just continue to get better and better. I cant wait to celebrate 1 Mili with you guys because you deserve it! thank you for all the hardwork you do for us to enjoy on our Saturday mornings. btw Nino my guy. classic
This one definitely turned out the best. An absolutely brand new car!!!!
I'm a farmer, in Ontario, that owns a '78 25th anniversary Vette. But I drive and appreciate mine!
Que carro perfeito! Cor e acabamento maravilhosos. O detalhe do forro de porta com couro degrade é fantástico.
You guys are just very relatable, that makes for a lot of the fun watching your videos - besides the great projects you always come up with and the wonderful job you do on the cars!
With modern cars becoming unfriendly to work on to say the least.....
It makes the classics even more desirable.
God dam love classic cars.
60s - 2002.
The only cars I want.
the Crossfire injection was notorious for problems. mechanics at the deanships nicknamed it ceasefire injection. Crossfire cam form the old crossarm dual quad option that was available over the counter for 1969 Z28s.
Eu amo carros antigos. Adorei ver essa relíquia sendo transformada. Parabéns 😉
I need to thoroughly clean my 76 C3. It's covered in a thick layer of dirt and paw prints from sitting in a shed for 6 years before I bought it back in 2019, I haven't touched it yet as I just started buying parts for it and put it away in my garage right after I got it running again!
I can understand buying and storing for an investment. I can't understand why you wouldn't cover it with a Dust sheet. Makes no sense.
My 84 back glass goes up like that too 👍. Yes when I go food shopping makes it easier I put all my bags back there. Nice n easy 👌👍.
I've been watching since the beginning and it's been wild to see the progression from the home-video feeling of the first couple years to the professional ,TV-show quality episodes you guys produce now. Thanks for consistently bringing us quality, can't-miss content! You all deserve more than 1 million subs.
ps: If this car went faster than 85 mph, it would be my favorite of the 3. Maybe it still is. The styling is super cool.
The car would go faster than 85. The speedometer only went to 85 due to a government mandate at the time. You could actually break the speedometer by driving the car too far past 85mph.
@@tommyhawks856 oh wow. Yeah it’s a looker. I’m glad to hear it goes fast, too.
@@cglenn1457 Well, "fast" is a relative term. It was "fast", for it's day.
A 360° walk around would have been sweet!
Great job!
Where do you see an 8 Track deck? This car has the auto reverse digital cassette stereo which was standard in this car. By 1982, 8 Tracks in cars were no longer available in most new cars. Just a handful continued the 8 Track into 1983. In fact, 1983 was the last official year an 8 Track was available on any American Car, that was also the first year a compact disc player (CD) was first offered on a very limited basis for Cadillac and Lincoln. So, 1983 was an interesting year in car stereo options and you could have your pick of an 8 Track, a Cassette or a CD but only for that one year. Great videos and you can definitely tell these are brand new Corvettes stored since new. You can not fake that kind of dirt and debris, especially the sealed up garage doors with weeds growing up them.
I Love Videos like this. Thank you GUYS!
What kind of a man does that to his cars
Someone who was able to afford to do it and knew that they would be more valuable one day.
Okay, but... why not cover them, and make sure they're going to be protected? If they're "car guys" or a collector.. don't you think they'd be a little more careful to make sure the car won't sustain any damage, during the many many years of storage?
@@BeardGuy-vz8tn Lazy
1 million! Let's go, people!!
First Vette that I ever rode in was a brand new '82. My neighbor was a salesman for the local Chevy dealer and he took me for a ride in one when I was 16. Scared the crap out of me in the curves. I ended up buying myself an '81 years later. The C3 was and still is my favorite body style.
Cross-Fire Injection was buggy, so it didn't last long at all.
1982 L48 Corvette, it has 63,407.1 miles, I'm the 3rd owner. Love your videos.
I have waited so long for this thank you for this video ❤
This reminds me of a story I read years ago about the discovery of a Model T at the Ford plant that had been built and crated for shipping. For whatever reason, the car never left the plant and was placed into storage. It sat there for decades until the car was discovered during a renovation. It must have been quite a time capsule.
Bikes & Beards has been doing this with motorcycles - finding and buying motorcycles still in the original crates. They bust open the crates, reassemble the bikes then try to get them running.
@@mattskustomkreations very cool, thank you
This one was my favourite Corvette and it also came out the best. Congrats on 1 million subs. 😁
1 Million Subs Baby !!!!
You got the temporary tag from 1987 blurred out! That is absolutely hilarious.
It was this series about these Corvettes that made me sub and like.. I was a master Goodwrench working for Henna Chevrolet in Austin ,Tx when the last car come out. I prepped 'vettes just like this. Great collection, however, there exist a Corvette that will outdo all three... I seen one just north of Marshall ,Tx on sr 59.. A 1953 prototype Corvette Nomad Wagon...baby blue with a Blue Flame Straight Six!!! Chevy only made 6 cars. as for the Crossfire , it worked but it wasn't very long Chevy changed to injector rails that worked better. a lot of people did not like the crossfire because it was slow compared the first 2 vettes you showed. While the odometer only showed up to 85 mph , the car did go about 120... I was a C4 specialist... BTW that pace car is the most valuable, Sam Snead died at the Indy 500 that year. Thx for the memories
Sam Snead died May 23,2002.
34:54 IN TEARS BRO, CRAZY CLEANING!!! 🇩🇪❤🇺🇲!!!
I owned an 82 Collector Edition for 5 years, kept it tuned and it ran perfect even in the Az summers, it was definitely a head turner, sure miss that ride.
Cross-fire was the worst thing that chevy introduced its very problematic and doesnt make good power. Always avoid the crossfire in the C3 and C4 corvettes
had it for 40 years with no problems, it had a bad rap from people that did not know how to work on them.
My favorite. Love the shape. Love the color. Elegant.
But so cheaply made
Unbelievable. Possibly the nicest car you guys have ever done. Amazing brand new Vette!
Little tip on rinsing with pw. Like when rinsing the hood.. rinse down then return wand on clean path.. rinse all dirty areas one direction essentially. Its just a better rinse.
15:55 people walking by it, brushing their legs on it.
Is that corn from the factory.lol
Loved watching this series of vettes get cleaned back up. You did a great job on all of them. The Pace car was awesome due to it bringing back memories of someone driving what I am assuming was a replica while I was in college. It was driven and parked in the same dorm parking lot as mine for probably 2 of the 4 years I was in college. Always thought it was a sharp car with the black and silver.
My favorite C3. Always has been. Just knowing this is out there is awesome.
Nice car 🔥
I'm 56 years old. I'm shocked that an 82 Corvette has an 8 track on it. It should have a cassette player. We were using cassette tapes by then.
I am 64 years old. The transition was gradual for many people and maybe Chevy had the option for ordering either cassette or 8 track for this year.

I’m 122 years old and I don’t even know how I’m typing right now. What did you say?
I’ve never enjoyed watching a car being washed this much in my life 😂💙🙏🏻
This is the one!! Smokes the other 2.... absolutely love this edition. Cheers 🍻 from Mississippi
Y'all are setting the standard for TH-cam detailling. It's funny watching other detailers change their format to keep up with WD. and by the way the 1982 corvette had a top speed of 85 mph because the speedometer was legally limited to that speed by federal law in the 1980s the law was a result of the 1970's oil shortage and the national speedlimit being reduced to 55 mph to save gasoline.
"The 1982 Corvette had a top speed of 85 mph"? 😂😂😂
The top speed of an '82 Corvette is between 130 and 145.
Look up any magazine test from '82 especially Motor Trend or Car and Driver.
Close......
The top speed of many cars was well over 85. The speedometer labels stopped at 85 to reduce the enticement to push the car to "it's limits". You are correct on the reduction in speed limit. But the speedometer limit was imposed by federal law.
Plenty of cars could still exceed 85
1980 Z28 had a 85 mph speedometer, and it went way pass 85, car top speed was around 110-120 mph..
Corvettes were way faster.
I have two of those with 10 miles
I have 8 with no miles.

@robblack7560 Sweet. Take alot of practice I'm sure.
This is an easy fave of the 3 for me. Such a clean and smooth looking car. Nice work!
As a 1980 C3 Corvette owner, seeing this reminds me of how lucky I have to own and still drive my classic. The new ones are pretty, more like Italian supercars, but I wish they didn't name them Corvettes, maybe Corvette F1's lol Anyway, yes having only 3 speeds in mine makes it unbearable to drive on the highway and the gas burns up fast, a 4 speed would have been nice. But these 82's were the first attempt at fuel injection and the crossfire system wasn't too reliable. I see it as more of a "test the new things car" which they implemented in the C4. Sadly there isn't a scenario where you can have a modern proven transmission paired with a reliable fuel injection high HP engine in a C3 body....unless you did a complete custom build. That's my dream 😃
What kind of a man does that to his cars?
You men are doing God’s work. Every car and every wash brings people like me a little closer to their cherished memories. Thanks for making an old man smile.
Someone needs to send Dennis Collins a message. He'll buy all of them.
Outstanding!
"F" Dennis Collins...his collection is big enough!
AI voice video they stole someone else's video
That was a fun video. I have come across some low mile cars myself and cleaned up before cell phones and you tube. Yes, that kind of stuff is still out there believe it! They are out there. Some of the stuff these guys ask about in the cars and what they do, ect I get a kick out of. They do an incredible job.
This corvette is absolutely beautiful. Great job.
i got a 1980-81 corvette, with the OG interior and paint, with the L81 snall block 350 with a 3 speed auto, plan to completely tear it down and rebuild it with a LS3 and a 5 speed manual, more or less, a complete overhaul for more power, more safety, and more creature comforts. hoping to take some of the details from the 82 collectors edition livery, plus another livery from another C3 corvette that was reviewed on hoovies garage. i haven't started this project yet, but i'm hoping to start it soon and make an amazing restomod C3
This has to be one of the most classic designs of the Corvette. The new designs can be mistaken for another exotic. I'm pretty sure this car listed out for around $18,000 in 1982. Love this channel!!
