2TONE82 is an original silver blue over dark blue car. Your color is pretty rare, according to the Black Book only 664 cars were painted white/silver .

My '82 had a birthday yesterday, turned 24...almost have 27K miles on her. She now shares the stable with an '04 Z16. This is my second 2 tone car, I had another silver blue over dark blue that I drove for 5 years, she had a 20/20 paint job (looked good from 20 feet at 20 MPH) and had over 150K on her before I sold her. It was too darn expensive to have her repainted - two-tone paint equals twice the fun for a painter and twice the price for me! Found this low mileage one in FL...identical to my other one, in fact they were built a month apart. Buying it was a no-brainer, it was like I restored mine and saved $$$.

Post pics of yours when you get a chance.

Mine is a 1981, with original silver over gray repainted sometime before I bought it in Nov 04.
