So the things I want to address first and have aleready started are as follows:
Replace K&N with stock
replace a fan should washer that did not have the correct cad plating
replace shrink wrap on a/c pressure switch that was the wrong color
add missing jumper post cover
replace door panel mid range speakers and grills with stock
replace non factory negative battery cable
add missing headlight rod clip
replace non factory a/c clutch
add missing underpan
I'd also like to put a factory Blaupunkt Monterey but I don't have one. Anyone out there have one they'd like to sell?

I've done some ebay and nationwide Craigslist searches for you.. No Dice... On Rennlist there were a few that popped up with them sold. However, on this one thread, there are a few mentions of people having Monterey SQR 23's available with no mention of them being sold. You might have luck there.

The fan shroud washer has the incorrect plating? For shame. I'd return the car for a full refund. 
BTW, how could you, of all people, not have a spare cassette deck? I still have the Monterey from my 86.5, if you like. It'll be a few weeks before I could get it to you, though. My GT is currently with Ron Ruff and I am without wheels until it is done.

I may have to settle for a Reno as I have plenty of them.

I seem to recall a place on the web that refurbishes the old radios, might as well have one that fully works, no crackle in the volume etc?
This place I think. http://www.swstereo.com/index.php

It was pulled from the 86.5 in 2000. I truly am unable to recall if it had full functionality...I know it worked. If you can wait a few weeks, let's just get it into your hands so you can first confirm that it meets your needs. If so, its yours for a couple of t-shirts...if that's fair. I'd be happy knowing I "helped out" with your new ride.

Congrats on the nice find Mark,
one thing you might eventually need to look at are the folds in your seats. The middle one in your driver's seat seems to have loosen already.
I've discussed this in the past, but just know that this is due to a flaw in the original design and it can be repaired and the construction upgraded so the folds remain secure.

How do you recomend addressing this? Do I send the seats to you? Should I first use Leatherique to soften them up? (they are pretty soft already)

you can just send me the base foams. They will lift off the frame as a unit with the covers. And will go back on in the same way once I'm done.
I'm doing the same thing for Tony's Pascha seats right now.
Yours are in amazing condition. All 3 folds usually come loose.

That's just nuts. Congratulations!
Now...seems like the intent was to buy one to enjoy/share/drive............but there is that odometer thing...
any rules-for-self in place yet?
My 86.5 is no where near that condition, but I still feel conflicted at running up the miles, despite being in the 'built to be driven' camp.
