What options does the this GLX have? Mileage? Are the seats cloth & vinyl, leather, or vinyl? Are they the "sport" seats (halo headrest with netting)?

The first code on the third line of the Buck Tag, is it "35"? Can you make out the DATE, A/C, and DSO codes on the door sticker?

Lets see, "sport seats" for sure all cloth, power locks, manual windows, 5 speed, defrost, A/C, cruise, not sure on the radio, i think cassette, but its not orig.

Mileage is right at 89,500



The DSO I made out to be 52, Date looks like 06/83, A/C looks like 0 maybe ?

Its really hard to read, the trim looks like it starts with an H


And yes thats a 35 on the third line, I didn't even see that.

I think the original color is Light Academy Blue, they original owners had it painted about 15 years ago a little darker.

I was going to fill in the rest of the VC Label that you couldn't read but it looks like you got the rest.

If you get the chance later, see if you can remove the screw attaching the Buck Tag to the radiator support frame and read the last digit of that "029" number. If you do that, can you take a straight-on pic of it and post it here? If not, no biggie.

I also see a tilt lever on the steering column.

Is there an "AMP PULL" knob under the dash next to the radio?

Do the windshield wipers have an interval/delay knob or no?

Ah yes it does have Prem. Sound and tilt! I'll have to look at the wipers, what would the Light Academy Blue stripes been?
