one more thing......

i found this custom panel i had laying around. i had bout a couple of gauges from a guy, and they were in this panel. he only wanted $20 for the panel and the 2 gauges. (2 1/16 autometer mech oil press, and elec water temp)

so i figured i would fit it in there, to see what it looks like. obviously i had to pull the factory equalizer, for it to fit.

Very sweet deal! There's nothing wrong with blue wire looms. I put blue ones on everwhere I could. Adds color ;)

the fake woodgrain radio surround was an option of sorts, my 3.8L car had the brushed aluminum, as did most other cars i see around, and in the junkyard, but there is a fully optioned LX at the junkyard with the woodgrain
It's Gumby's fault.

Interesting.  Could you option it away?  If you can't then I found a lost birdy in the bonyard in Minnesota.  Didn't have A/C, or cruise, or much of any options.

its quite possible, but i have no idea

ive seen options robbed cars, down to having a single, manual mirror, have A/C

if it didnt have A/C, id probably have the heater box, heater control panel, and all kinds of stuff out of it

they still have the heater panel, and you could get them deleated. I have seen two or three without ac in my area. Also I have never seen that fake aluminum shiznit that everyone is always talking about.
 here is what erics site says

OPTIONAL FEATURES     GS     LS     XR7
Air conditioning, manual control    O    O    O
Air conditioning, automatic control    O    O    O
so it looks like they were all optional.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
