    Default Decode T-Top Coupe

    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

    Buck Tag Decoder
    Door Tag Decoder
    Owner Card Decoder
    Transmission Tag Decoder

    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.

    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.
