82 Corvette, removable urethane bumpers, very different styles. Makes the car about a foot longer. 205hp 350ci EFI best available, 4 speed automatic overdrive only. No side pipes available. Different front clip, different rear clip, different hood, different doors with aluminum crash hardware. Glass rear window, no convertibles available. Different seats and interior completely. Iron diff changed to aluminum diff and crossmember. And I don't think 82s came with rallye wheels. 3rd generation. |
Also the frame was stronger in 78 on, and the fiberglass tunnel was replaced with a steel tunnel.
Different body, different frame, different drivetrain. But since the body had the same lines around the fenders, GM considered it the same generation. Don't even get me started on the 20th generation Evo. :leaving: |

You could drop any C3 body on any C3 frame, without the frame extensions and crash harware of the later C3s, but yes, frames were different. I'm sure Glenn or Bird could explain this better than I can. |
