My first 7 was an 83 S model that was Sunbeam Silver with black interior!!!! Haha I still have it. I'm rebuilding the 12A in it. Mine has no dash cracks though and only has some ripping on the drivers seat. The headliner is kinda getting tears but it still looks great, even though it's been sitting for a year. I miss driving it though and I know it's going to be a while before I get to again. I have to wait until after we move to Boise before I can start rebuilding the motor(Gotta save for the move.......dammit!!!). I'm going to try and clean up all the parts and make sure everything is in spec and I'll try and do my porting before we move though. That should speed things up with it. But then I have to either come back to MD and actually get the car(can't afford to bring it with us when we initially move) or have it shipped(either way it's about $1k). I'm going to replace whatever I can though before it goes back on the road. It'll be awhile but I'll have my SA to keep my First Gen addiction going

cool maybe it won't take as long as you think and you'll be driving her again this one I bought because there are no issues with the title my other 83 was repossessed and the title is kind of cloudy about who owns the car so this was my fix for it for now until legal issues are settled my 81 needs front suspention work so I bought this one so that I can restore the 81 back to compleately stock even have the stock clarion tape deck now will just need stock speakers and find some waffle rims for my son so I can get my + rims back

I hope it doesn't but I'm going to take my time and do it right the first time. I still need to finish prepping my wheels so I can paint them, buy tires, have them mounted and balanced, and finally on my SA LOL

I would imagine it could have been a dealer option. It could also be a retrofit from another vehicle. PICTURES OR BAN!! LOL

The "S" model did not even come with a sunroof. It was the very base model.

The S model still had optional sunroof. Not to mention the dealerships installed sunroofs as well
