    Thanks for the info.
    Kind of relieved it didn't come with factory rear louvers because it wore some at one time but now they're gone. Also the seats look like real leather. I'll have to check closer in the morning because I thought they were but has the code to vinyl.
    I also dig the color combo. My wife and daughter hate it.

    It's definitely not a GS. Otherwise the VIN code would be 68 instead of 67.

    It is just a "Capri". Not GS, RS, Turbo RS, or Black Magic.

    Hmmm. Guess I was just basing that off the options it has.
    Thanks again
