1982 BUICK SPORT COUPE LIMITED VALUE

[William Eckenrode]

I have a 1982 Buick Sport Coupe Limited. I know the production number for sport coupes in 1982 was 2,022 but I would like to know how many of those were "LIMITED"? My car needs fully restored and i want to know if the car is worth restoring, it needs an engine, paint job, interior, basically the whole 9 yards the car has 116,000 miles on it so the years are catching up to the mileage. So far I only know what information I provided. If anyone knows anything or has any questions to help with this please contact me at 87craigslist87@gmail.com

NADA.com and Hagerty can give you a "book" value of the car. As far as actual value goes, that's up to you in the end.

The Limited interior was an option on the Sport Coupe. It's not some sort of double model. I think it was somewhat common since Sport Coupe tended to be loaded. (My '82 Sport Coupe parts cars had it. Pillow top seats and different door pulls).

A top-notch restoration would likely exceed the value of the car. I'd throw a 4.1 short block in it, clean up the rest and enjoy a fun cruizer.

I saw an original , clean well cared for 82 sport coupe for sale on local rip off "specialty " car dealer knocked down to $7000.00 for a " quick sale" . Pretty car, to rare to be sitting outside on Fast Buck Harry's car lot. One of 2022 . To me ,33 years later that's a rare survivor. How many left? Gear heads want the 86,87 GN. Still a great car, spend what you can afford. Will be the only one around for a 1000 miles. Remember guys, 1982 economy wise was the year from hell . Car loans at 18% interest. Inflation and unemployment nearing double digits. Federal emissions and CAFE standards brought the auto industry to their knees. Yet Buick still managed selling 2022 loaded copies of a turbo 6 performance car . The base price was around $8000. Most were loaded pushing the price closer to $12,000. Have to love Buick engineering!
