thanks!! I don't have my list of options in front of me but I'm pretty sure this car has a few other options that didn't make the tag but this is a very good start. Yes, it's a manual sunroof, my understanding is they all were by 73 due to issues with the power versions of earlier years. It's a am fm stereo and it does have a tach also off the top of my head. When I get back around my list of options I will update

The R11 means it started life with an AM Radio... R35 is AM/FM... The radio may have gotten swapped along the way...

I seem to remember wondering about that when I 1st bought it, it's definitely a factory 73 radio. When you see the car, it's very obvious it was never restored or modified but it very possibly did have a miss order and the dealer installed a fm when new.

Common thing to dealer upgrade out of the dealer accessories catalog. Rear defogger, luggage rack, clock, tack, A/C, P/S, P/B..
 
One thing I'm curious about and maybe someone would have an answer, what cooling fan would this car have come with? Would the 28" radiator be considered heavy duty cooling and get a specific fan blade and clutch assembly? One other item I don't believe was on the fender tag is the 8 3/4 rear with the sure grip. I think this should have been a 2 tag car, I think I remeber others speaking in the past about cars that came with options not listed, is this a thing? I will look for the build/broadcast sheets to verify what actually was installed as I believe there were a few other options not listed. This car has not been molested, still has original exhaust even

A/C cars go HD cooling. You'd have to look up in the 73 parts book or maybe a galen book for the fan blade and clutch part numbers. Those usually have ink stamped p/n's.

would this information also be on the broadcast sheet?
