How do you Spot an 83 Berlinetta ???  Well the 83 Berlinetta was styled EXACTLY like the 82 was.  There were no significant changes from the 82-83 model years and it's very hard to tell the difference from an 82-or 83 from inside or out.  The real difference in the Berlinetta from 82 to 23 was in the engine and drive trains that were available.  The Only 2 engine installed in the Berlinetta were again the V6 or V8 carb motors..... but 83 was the ONLY year you could purchase a V8 Berlinetta with a Standard Transmission.  The 83 was also the first year Chevy made the 4 speed automatic tranny available in the Camaro.

A word on badges.....  The 1983 Has a "berlinetta" badge on the passenger side of the dash.  All the exterior emblems still  use a lower case "b" in the signature.  The nose header emblem carries a GOLD Bow Tie ( as do all the Berlinetta cars) and the front and rear bumper emblems are plastic.  The rear bumper emblem has a Chevy Bow Tie next to it.   The sail panel emblems and CAMARO fender emblems are made of metal and gold colored.
