Sorry about the delay missed your post. Only found it after I reread thread to see were it went off track.

It was a convertable (2 door) and yes it was factory. The only option was power steering.
That brings up a point. You can no longer get a car your way. It seem all manufactures and retailers only want to sell you the 20% of the items that make 80% of the sale. This is why the selection of of car and trucks with manual transmissions is so limited.


When my son went to buy a truck he was looking for a stick. The Ford dealer didn't have one (Ranger) on the lot and wasn't getting one. He ended up buying a Colorado as the Chevy dealer had one he could test drive before purchase.
