So if it is in original condition, it can be a 1982 (only) car, but then the front fender, at least on this pic, doesn't look for 1982 one. The side molding and wheel covers are a bit strange. Other possiblity is that it can looks black only in movie and in reality it was for example very dark blue.

Weasel1984 ◊ 2015-08-25 00:21	It is strange - for confirmation here we can see that there was only one real black color in CXes used in years 1975-77 and 1982-89. So maybe it is already a 1982 MY in fact... But registered in July means that it was made earlier - pretty early, like for the next year "model year"...
