Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
My 82CE does not have any chrome on the back either.  Front & the center but not the back.  Just painted fiberglass.

Not ALL Sharks had that chrome(actually stainless) trim in that area. I'm not sure what year they stopped, but it was around '72-'73. I'm not even sure if my '74  has that there...it might, but I don't think it does.

My '78 does not have that stainless strip. It does look cleaner than the black painted fiberglass however.
Warning: The surgeon general has declared that it is NOT unhealthy to smoke your competition AND I just discovered that my corvette is a hybred.  It burns gas and rubber!
