The 1982 Chevrolet Camaro had the third-ever total redesign of the model. The exterior was completely redone to give a leaner, meaner look to Chevrolet's signature muscle car. It weighed about 500 pounds less than the 1981 version, yet retained the creature comforts desired by its drivers.
The interior had new comfortable bucket seats and a redesigned dash with easy-to-read gauges. The car was so popular that it was selected as the pace car for the Indy 500. The '82 Camaro seemed to herald great success for third generation of the car.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1982 Chevrolet Camaro generally have a love-hate relationship with this classic car. Many appreciate its thrilling performance, fun driving experience, and distinctive looks, while others struggle with frequent breakdowns and maintenance issues. Most drivers enjoyed the car's powerful feel and handling, but a significant number complained about reliability and electrical problems, along with poor gas mileage."
I love the looks i get in my Camaro and everyone always wants a ride :) I love how the color changes from midnight blue to black at night, the car is extremely fun to dive as well. Over all this car is sweet!
September 21, 2009I was excited to own a Camaro, but was quickly disappointed. It had a rough ride and was noisy for a new car - a little like driving a truck. I love the classic Camaro's and the newest models are beautiful, but the in-between years are a let-down.
May 20, 2011This car had went under a full restoration and was complete about 3 years ago. Engine was rebuilt and bored 0.30 over. The gas mileage was pretty good considering it's a V8 car. It was a fun car to drive. I would recommend a friend to give a car like this a try and see what they think. Sadly this car is out of commission due to a electrical fire under the hood. This car might get repaired and be back on the road again.

July 2, 2008This was my second car I ever owned. I was only 18 and foolish, but I still miss this car. It drove like a race car and turned corners like it was on rails. It was simply a blast to drive. But like most Chevrolet's I've owned, it broke down frequently. If I wasn't in love with it as much as I was I wouldn't have kept it for so long (4 years).
December 17, 2007It is so much fun to drive.I have always loved this body style Camaro.The 2 tone, the graphic's. Many people say they didn't even know they made replica pace car's.Mine isnt stock under the hood, sound's healthy. My dad had one of these and he wish he had it back.
November 4, 2010Very fun to drive, handles like a champion, enough power to throw you back a bit. Very sleek looking, comfy, ass-kicking machine. Gas mileage kinda sucks tho (17ish) but its more about smiles per gallon than miles per gallon. Get one
August 10, 2009Its a great fun car, great performance and braking because of great upgrades. Custom repaint and some comfort upgrades to the interior. Being a performance v8 it does get pretty good gas mileage for what it is. overall this is a gret fun car
May 31, 2013I got it out of a barn, literally. It is in surprisingly good shape for the abuse it received. Best of all it is a true Indy 500 Pace Car
April 13, 2008I have had this car for just over a year and a half. And I do have to say that I love it. When I bought this car is was from an old lady in Bowling Green KY. Since then I have had to but in a new transmission, and a new engine...twice!! And all of this happened right before I actually started to drive it! But thats not the point. I love this car. It has always been good to me.
November 9, 2010My car is great! For some of the cars that are out today the gas milage is fair. It was built to last, all except for the engine. I am currently getting the Engine rebuilt. It had a knocking, turns out its just a regular engine, they get tired after awhile. This is a fun car to drive, very comfortable, and very efficient. I will probably never get rid of this car.
