This can't be an original 1980 L-82, as it has a manual transmission. Due to the combination of the manual transmission and L-82 not meeting federal emissions requirements, GM didn't make any.
I owned a 1980 L82 in 1982 and to my knowledge they were all automatic...Excellent paint job mine was black also. The interior and glass t- tops outstanding they do have a tendency to crack over time. Especially if you live where the highways and streets are bad.
I had a '79 L-82 4spd. For certain the 1980 was an automatic only. The 4-spd. could not get certified for 1980. The car in the video has been modified or is a fake L-82.
CORRECT...ALL 4 speed cars for 1980 & 1981 Were L-48 engines......they made 5575 4 speed cars on both 1980 & 1981...ALL of them were L-48 cars. (1981 only had the L-48)...
"the motor is factory and the owners wanted to show that by not cleaning or making the motor look pretty unlike the rest of the car where they definitely cleaned up and totally kept original
Most important gauge in the car is the oil pressure gauge !!!! "oil pressure gauge is maxed out cause they never read correctly" WTF are you talking like are you smoking something , , I suggest you get a job on a market stall selling fruit with what comes out of you mouth .
All 1980 L-82s were automatics. The engine may be original to the car and all but the transmission is not. Nice conversion and all but it's not quite how the car was born. Beautiful car and all but I would pass if I were looking for a truly original car. A nice restomod cruiser? Absolutely. But if the tranny does not match the car well that changes the dynamic. Look at the serial number and then you'll know if it's a real L-82 to begin with. I believe it's the fifth or sixth digit that identifies it as an L-82 and that is the number 6.The L-48 would be an 8 and the California-only 305 would be the letter H {going from memory here}. Awesome looking car though. Many other ways to check but this is still a cool car original or not.
There were a few proto-type L-82 4 Speeds built in 1980, but none that made a dealership. But there were some made. Show the Vin on the window. But this does have the L-82 tach with the correct red line marking.
I thought mine was an l-82 at first until I ran its vin... I have the 1980 L-48 with close ratio MM4 4-speed. To my knowledge the L-82 was never officially offered in 1980 with a 4 - speed.
never liked the last version of the C3, but this one looks pretty good...black over red is awesome. as everyone else said, a 1980 L82 with stick is a unicorn. sales guy is typical annoying sales guy
Either that's the rarest Corvette ever for it to be a 1980 4 speed L82 or someone prior swapped in a 4 speed or swapped a L82 in a L48 Corvette & did a clone
If the 5 th number in the VIN is an 8, its not an L82. If its an 8, the trans is correct and its an L-48. If its "numbers matching" with a 4 speed, it is NOT an L82. Period.
"You can Turn on the speaker here, it sound unbelievable " 😆 these salesmen.. Loving to exagerate.. Vette with a crate motor is the was to go...keepin it REAL...
1980 L~82 ONLY came in automatic. Fact check ✔ Vette is not a real factory Corvette. How do I know. I am a Corvette fan of 1980. I owned a 1980 L~82. They only come in automatic. 230 Horsepower. Non L~82 was rated 190 horsepower. Why do people miss lead you I do not know. Any questions contact me at: vette99x@gmail.com Stay safe!

Breather should not be chrome. L82 came with the glass tops?
I was under the impression that they didn't offer a four speed trans on the 1980 L82.
Maravilhosa. Combinação de cores interior/exterior exótica.
Nice cars how much money?
I’m sorry but that red interior is hideous.
If I'm not mistaken all L82 motors had dual snorkels. Single snorkel were used on L48 motors
Just 5,069 of the 40,614 Corvettes in 1980 built were produced with the L82 engine, which was rated by the factory at 230 horsepower.
And how many 1980 L82 was a 4spd? They have it listed as not available. Only the L48-4spd
Sweet in anyones garage😅
There were no l82 4 speed cars in 1980
Oil gauge maxed out because they never read correctly apparently ????? Lol
Perfect beautiful amazing looking car thanks friend

Beautiful vette
Never shut a hood like that. CRINGE.
Love this car. Looks slightly modified but who cares. I have a ‘79 L-82 automatic. It’s not a ‘63 split window. Being stock doesn’t mean a lot.
Someone put L82 badges on it. They were all automatics.
All you need is the fake L82 emblems to unleash all that extra horsepower ...
All the gauges work as they should but this one and that one are always incorrect
やはりC3が最もコルベットらしいコルベットだ、このグラマラスラインが堪らん！ミッドシップC8がその次かな！
That has to be the most red on an interior that I have ever seen
I owned a 1980 L82 in 1982 and to my knowledge they were all automatic...Excellent paint job mine was black also. The interior and glass t- tops outstanding they do have a tendency to crack over time. Especially if you live where the highways and streets are bad.

correct could NOT get Manual transmission with L82 in 1980
Smog pump also gone and looks like aftermarket manifold
CORRECT...ALL 4 speed cars for 1980 & 1981 Were L-48 engines......they made 5575 4 speed cars on both 1980 & 1981...ALL of them were L-48 cars. (1981 only had the L-48)...
The 1981 engine was actually the L81 (190hp).
"the motor is factory and the owners wanted to show that by not cleaning or making the motor look pretty unlike the rest of the car where they definitely cleaned up and totally kept original
Is it v6 or v8???
Most important gauge in the car is the oil pressure gauge !!!! "oil pressure gauge is maxed out cause they never read correctly" WTF are you talking like are you smoking something , , I suggest you get a job on a market stall selling fruit with what comes out of you mouth .
I just found my dream car
Too bad the guy didn't know how to connect the t-top
They did release 5 pilot cars in 1980 with the L82 and 4 sp trans under RPO-82-UR12-U81
For what it's worth, a search on Google for "RPO-82-UR12-U81" comes up with zero hits. Where are you getting this RPO number?
An oil pressure gauge that does not work, has to be fixed. In my opinion, it is the most important gauge of the all.
So as someone who is researching and new to the Vette scene..what's the deal with numbers matching?
All 1980 L-82s were automatics. The engine may be original to the car and all but the transmission is not. Nice conversion and all but it's not quite how the car was born.

There is a lot of ripples in that back bumper
There were a few proto-type L-82 4 Speeds built in 1980, but none that made a dealership. But there were some made. Show the Vin on the window. But this does have the L-82 tach with the correct red line marking.
Nice car
Price would be nice. Old trick dont record any numbers. dont write anything down and damn sure dont video it. Prolly sold and repod 3 times by now.
Price?
Oil Guage will read correctly if u fix it. Most likely the sending unit. So on true that it never reads correctly.
Oil Guage not working
a comp cam 268 EH cam would wake the motor up
The original L-82 969 cam had more lift and duration then the Comp 268H. What the engine needs is a free flowing exhaust and better heads.
I thought mine was an l-82 at first until I ran its vin... I have the 1980 L-48 with close ratio MM4 4-speed. To my knowledge the L-82 was never officially offered in 1980 with a 4 - speed.
Where do you run the Vin for these older cars?
never liked the last version of the C3, but this one looks pretty good...black over red is awesome. as everyone else said, a 1980 L82 with stick is a unicorn. sales guy is typical annoying sales guy
Either that's the rarest Corvette ever for it to be a 1980 4 speed L82 or someone prior swapped in a 4 speed or swapped a L82 in a L48 Corvette & did a clone
I've never seen a sportcar as good look as the Corvette C3 rubber bumper boat tail with front and rear spoiler
If the 5 th number in the VIN is an 8, its not an L82. If its an 8, the trans is correct and its an L-48. If its "numbers matching" with a 4 speed, it is NOT an L82. Period.
"You can Turn on the speaker here, it sound unbelievable " 😆 these salesmen.. Loving to exagerate.. Vette with a crate motor is the was to go...keepin it REAL...
Even the camera was “a beautiful 4K” camera lol he couldn’t turn off the salesman pitch.
Sounds like a walrus fart through a garden hose ...
And it's a fucking stick.... what an amazing car...
Any Vette after 1970 is garbage. Period
🙄
spoken like a true boomer
Sweet vette
