Most likely you are referring to the external amp for the stereo. Although without pictures to verify that is what you are asking about, I can only guess. Hope that helps.!

The black wire is a ground for the amp. Not sure where exactly it attaches. It’s a bit long maybe 18”

It is the ground for the "premium" sound amp as others have already mentioned. You probably aren't using it anyway but I believe it did attach to the metal frame of the dash near the radio itself.
On my 85 GT that wire ran from the amp (top center dash) down to a stud on the back of the radio.
Yup, attaches on the back stud of the "premium" radio. There is also a support bracket on that stud to hold the radio.
