Model year 1982
1982 Corvette Interior Colors and Trim Codes
Six interior colours were offered for 1982, the last year of the C3, plus the silver-beige leather reserved for the Collector Edition. Below is every trim code and what it came with.
Type a trim code from the trim tag, or part of a colour name. Both tables below narrow as you type.
1982 interior trim codes

The colour dots are on-screen approximations to tell the trims apart, not matches. Chevrolet never published values for them, and surviving trim has usually faded, so treat them as a guide and check an unexposed area of your own car before ordering.
How to read your trim code
From 1975 the trim code carries a letter that tells you the material at a glance. A code ending in V is vinyl and one ending in C is cloth, while an all-numeric code ending in 2 is leather. So 19V and 192 are the same black, one in vinyl and one in leather. Read the code off the trim tag riveted to the driver's side of the body, just inside the door opening, alongside the paint code. It is the only surviving evidence of what the car originally had once the seats have been recovered.
What each 1982 interior came with
This is the same factory chart the 1982 colour page carries, turned round. That page starts from the paint and tells you what could go inside. This one starts from the trim code, which is the way round you need when you have read the tag and want to know whether the car left the factory in the combination it wears now.

Seats and trim in 1982
Interior code 592, the multi-tone silver-beige leather, was exclusive to the Collector Edition Hatchback, along with its leather wrapped steering wheel, cloisonne emblems and luxury carpeting. On a base 1982 the silver-beige leather could be optioned, but the rest of the Collector package could not.
How 1982 buyers specified the inside
The final year is the most heavily equipped C3 of all. The power driver seat, now AG9, went into 22,585 of 25,407 cars, close to 90 per cent, and the cassette into 20,355, about four in five. The 8-track collapsed to 923 orders, under four per cent, and disappeared with the car. 1982 also brought the Collector Edition with its lifting rear hatch, 6,759 cars with their own silver beige trim, so roughly a quarter of the last year has an interior no other C3 ever had.
The interior chart for every model year from 1968 to 1982 is on the C3 interior trim page. The exterior paint codes for this year, with how many cars wore each colour, are on the 1982 colour page, and the full option list is on the 1982 specifications page.
