Correct, it is a 1983... but look again. The 7th item in the VIN is ''K''. That is Shovelhead 1340.
Somebody has swapped out the engine. No harm done - the Evo is a better motor, of course!
I never knew that the Evo could fit into an FLT frame (the FLHT, despite the first three letters of its designation, is not a classic 4spd FLH, it is one of the new 5spd tourers)....maybe a previous owner had to do some clearance work or maybe the Shovel FLT frame had a bit more room than the FX frame did. Remembering that when the factory produced a small run of 4spd Evos in an FX frame, it had to modify the frame to fit the taller new motor.
Anyway, mystery solved. ;-)
