Does your convertible have tilt steering?

This website http://www.cabrio7.org/rabout.html says:

"All RX-7 Convertibles came factory equipped with Leather interior, premium sound system with CD player, alarm and BBS wheels."

AND

"RX-7 convertibles DO NOT have: tilt wheel"

But my S4 vert has tilt steering and cloth seats and no cd player. Just trying to figure out how much the previous owner 'modded'. I recently replaced my brake master cylinder but the parts shop said the one I had was designated for a Turbo with ABS - neither of which my car has.

Is the website wrong or was my car modded?

not all verts had leather, this has been proven already.
The column moves up and down, JUST the wheel will not tilt, but the whole column does

88 with leather/headrest speakers had tilt. Those with cloth/no head rest speakers didn't come with tilt stock. I got the latter and I retrofitted the tilt and headrest speakers into it.

All 89's had tilt.

No 90 or 91 had tilt due to the Air bags.
