I found this video posted in another forum but thought it was interesting, particularly for the 1982 owners.  There may be more but there is at least one technical error regarding a trim issue that jumped out at me, we will see who can find it first, probably an 81 or 82 owner.

Great video Chip!   I was stationed in Germany at that time.  Guys were buying 911s and shipping them to Canada to be made USA "compliant" and picking them up after their tour of duty in Europe.  I had an 81 Cadillac Eldorado.  It was candy apple red with a white leather interior and white top.  The Germans really did not understand that car.

When they showed the power antenea, the emblem on the gas cap was wrong, it was an 80 or 81.
Some of the other shots looked like they had the 80-81 cross flags on the front, but it was hard to see clearly.

ClapYou got it Dave I had to do a double take when that shot went by but all in all enjoyed the video.

Yup, the flags are a dead giveaway.  Also the torque converter was available on the 81.  Mine has it.  All in all a good vidio!!

Cross Fire Injection badging (front fender) missing from quite a bit of footage for an ad for '82 Vettes.LOL
 
Then again, Chevy used a 71 Vette to advertise a '72...the parking lights were wrong for the '72 ad...lol.
