That's a good range for me too. (It looks just like my car, spec-wise)
Though obviously they have it listed as an 82, which could mean anything.

I made this spreadsheet not long ago.
Basically just to try and narrow down the VIN range based on what you could see in photos. It isn't too terribly sophisticated, just delete the "X" in the yellow shaded cells for the feature you see. Then your likely VIN range is whatever columns all overlap.
I'd like to get it more specific, but there wasn't enough I found from the "VIN chronology" changes to do so. If you see other aspects of the cars that point to a certain range, please mention them and I'll add it to the file.

There is supposed to be come conditional formatting behind the scenes for those cells. Maybe it gets disabled when posted online (although the copy I clicked on in this post came up and worked).
Here's a screen grab of what it's meant to look like:

Nope, there is nothing in those fields.

An original dealer wide-striped 1983 with two-tone interior? Of course it has to surface when I'm not quite ready to buy!
