so as for some who are burgundy leather interior purist, i am a tan leather interior purist. i believe they are quite rare as i have been collecting only a handful of parts over the years of working to restore my Maya Gold. I believe 81 and 82 in gold came with tan interiors. I am not positive but I have seen 83 perhaps first half of 83 model years have tan but otherwise the doo doo brown interior. i've been lucky enough to find a mint condition used dash which replaced my dry cracked one as well as a mint center counsel. I was super lucky to find a brand new rear storage bin as the hinges on both of mine are broken. Also I found a brand new door sill. Still on the hunt and collecting another mint or new rear bin and trims around the doors and rear hatch area!

With bell bottoms no doubt. You gotta show us the pics DD of you in your plaid pants.
After all, it's that '70's "thinking outside the box" that brought us the revolutionary wankel powered 1st gen RX-7 in the first place.
In my opinion, nothing beats a mint SA with original plaid interior, the ultimate unobtanium.

I think mine were pre-bellbottom, as I recall. And there weren't any homeless people in Nebraska; winter thinned 'em out.
Here's an example of the general idea... Probably 1975 or within a year or two.

Those were the days
Nice photo DD, even looks like it's a genuine kodacolor print. I don't have any photos from back then either, I was too poor to afford a camera or film and too busy hanging out in the desert or marching on Washington to take pictures. But I'll check with the FBI, they probably still have some stuff on file.

was in my parts barn and was looking through some fenders and found what appeared to be an oem replacement fender. it had a cool sticker on it that i've never seen before. of course with my luck, i didnt have a camera so i used my cell phone to take a pic because i thought it was pretty rare. here's the neato sticker:
