Buck Tag is missing, right? Can you please list all the options the car has. Thanks.

Also, don't know if it's a typo on your part or if they're printed like that on the VC Label but starting with the "K" at the end of the INT. TRIM, all of those codes should be shifted one column to the right, i.e. A/C = K, R = 7, S = D, AX = 2, and TR = 2KKHH.

Hey Mick, thanks for the info. Did you get the pics? Yeah the letters are actually under the left side of the columns and should probably be shifted one space to the right.
Thanks,
Chris

Yup, got the pictures. I think I have more to give you from when the previous owner posted them...
