It appears to be a really low optioned car. Was wondering if the T-top is the only option on the car.
Is there a way to tell if it came with a radio or not? Somebody chopped up the dash to put a aftermarket one in.

Some option codes are not on either tag. Lack of a radio code on early (79-82) Capri and Mustang door tags does not necessarily mean no radio. I would need other tags and documentation for the car the get the bigger picture.
From a lack of some codes, or specific codes that could have been different, I can tell you that the car did not have the following options.
2.3T engine
3.3L engine
4.2L engine
5-speed manual overdrive transmission
air conditioner
automatic transmission
carriage roof
cruise control
hood scoop
leather seating
light group
limited slip differential
lower bodyside protection
lower tu-tone paint
mud flaps
power lock group
power windows
rear defrost
Recaro seating
rocker panel molding
special tu-tone paint
sunroof
vinyl roof

This is true. One of our 79's had the radio spot blank on the door tag. The initial Marti report showed a "2" in the radio spot for an AM radio. The car did actually have a factory AM radio in it when we got it. I opted to have the replica door tag from Marti not have the number in it to match the original.
The following options did not have a code on either the door tag or buck tag.
accent tape stripes
appearance protection group
console
deluxe seat belts
dual rear speakers
emissions system, California or high altitude
front floor mats, cloth or vinyl
front licence plate bracket
handling suspension
heavy duty battery
interior accent group
interval wipers
leather wrapped steering wheel
luggage compartment light
pin stripes
power brakes
power steering
premium sound system
roof mounted luggage rack
sport option
tilt steering wheel
tinted glass (complete)
tinted windshield
tires, Michelin TRX or white sidewall
wheel covers, turbine or wire
wheels, cast aluminum or forged metric aluminum (TRX) or styled steel w/trim rings

Anywhere really. Most common places are under front carpet, under rear seat, and behind interior trim panels. But it may not have ever been left in the car. Or if it is there it may be damaged beyond being legible.
