Default No option codes on my /79

I wrote about this earlier - here's the VIN# 9289202071

Any links to what I can find my options are?

Very few options available back then compared with later cars.
I do not think you will find the info easily unless you have the original sticker.
Maybe passenger side door mirror or LSD.

You forgot Auto/Manual

Other early options include:

Sunroof
AC (optional in some geographies)
Cloth inserts on seats/interior

Think that about covers it from the ones I've seen pre-'80.

Alarm, impact bumper shocks, door side protection, tinted windows and stronger 88 Ah battery were options in '78-79 MY in ROW cars.

In '80 MY sport suspension, sport seats and automatic AC became available.

No Sunroof, leather(not power) seats - and no mirror on the pass door... thought that was a bit odd - 5-speed
