cargo area cover
factory wheels: 14" '16-slot' or TRX
front license plate bracket
leather wrapped steering wheel
premium sound system ("AMP PULL" knob to left of radio, amplifier under center of dash pad) It does show Premium Sound
tilt steering wheel

I'll look for the mileage.
Has brackets for the cover but cover is missing
Not sure on the wheels, it has later model 5 spoke.
It had the front license plate.
Not sure on the steering wheel as it has a fugly Grant GT. The car had cruise at one time but missing most of the components.
Dash shows Premium Sound. Have not seen the amp but I'll look.
Car also has intermittent wipers and rear defrost.
It also looks to have leather seats, leather inserts with vinyl sides.

That car's DSO is Cincinnati. Ohio has always had front plates. Mine was about 6044 cars behind yours on the assembly line, and I found buildsheets under the carpet in front of the driver seat, and inside the passenger side rear quarter panel, up in the C-pillar area. That will say which wheels it came with. I'm betting on TRX. They were more common, and yours is a fairly well optioned car.

The car has been taken good care of in spite of being raced often. The carpet and seats will be removed for final cleaning and carpet replacement in the near future. Anyone good at rebuilding T-Tops?

FoxChassis, thank you for the information, that's a lot to digest. Is there more information on what the CAT trim included? Maybe I should spring for a Marti Report?

[FoxChassis]

Sorry, was in a hurry when I decoded and posted. It should have been "GT", not "CAT". Correction made above.

That's ok, happens to us all at times. Thanks again for your help.
