My '84 Elite GT also has the bronze "C" headbadge.
It also carries the seperate U and R graphic, and the serial has 3 for the second digit.
Paint however is the classic '84 blue/silver.
OOps.. you are right the Elite GT had cantilevers, i must have been looking at the R/S, Could have been an early 84 model since it has a mix of colors and badging of 1983?
