FoxChassis more #s for you.

[82stangracer]

Here's a 82 GT I just bought. The carpet has been pulled out so I'm hoping I'll find a build sheet when I pull the rest of the interior. The 4 #s at the screw hole are "0899", I PMed you my vin#. As far as options, it has T-tops, rear defrost and Premium Sound.(Atleast the cluster panel has the emblem on it) Click attachments for Pics.

Yea I was just fixing to come back and post that I think it had louvers as well, because it looks like someone filled in the holes with bondo. What is "light group"?

[FoxChassis]

For the 1982 model year the Light Group included...

• ashtray light
• glovebox light
• dual beam/dome map light
• engine compartment light
• trunk/hatchback liftgate courtesy light

Cool, I noticed it had the hood lamp socket on the hood (the wiring was cut off) and was wondering if someone had added it because I'd never seen one before.

[82stangracer]

Anyway to tell if this car came with the "Premium Sound System" without the build sheet? It had the the emblem on the gauge bezel, but those are easy to change. What was included/different with the Premium Sound? I took the whole dash out and didn't see anything different from my other '82 that doesn't have Premium Sound.


EDIT: Found the Build Sheet. So does it tell if it came with Premium Sound?

[FoxChassis]

Yes, there is a code on the build sheet for premium sound. Can you take a pic of the sheet and post it?

Some things indicated on the build sheet that are not also on the door tag and/or buck tag:

dealer stock order
14" aluminum wheels
heavy duty battery
interval windshield wipers
premium sound system
tilt steering wheel
tinted glass

Very Interesting. I looked at the vin to make sure it matched and that the build sheet was for my car but now I'm gonna have to rechecked it, because I just pulled the steering column out and it isn't a tilt. Also, which glass would be tinted. The T-top glass is tinted but I don't think the hatch, doors or quarters are. What is "dealer stock order" mean, that they ordered it just for the lot and not for someone?

[FoxChassis]

Scratch tilt steering column from my list. I glanced at the sheet too quickly. I thought the "T" code that I saw on line F in column 34 was in column 35.

The Tinted Glass (Complete) option was for the front windshield and the side and rear glass. It was recommended with the manual air conditioner option but required with the T-roof option. Tinted Glass (Windshield) was optional for fleet orders only.

You're right on with what 'dealer' stock' means. It is code "1" on line A column 34 on your sheet.

[82stangracer]

What all was included or different with the Premium Sound option?

[FoxChassis]

Premium sound system was an amplifier and (I think) different speakers.

[Travis T]

The speakers were stamped with premium sound, so they were different upgraded speakers.

[FoxChassis]

They for sure had a different code on the build sheet...

Line D: Electrical, Audio, Spkrs (col. 13)

[blank] = no rear speakers
4 = four speakers, without premium sound system
Z = four speakers, with premium sound system
