Looks like someone that wanted the car to handle well and be comfortable while "styling" bought it originally ... IMHO, YMMV, etc

looking at the ad and the car pictures shows that it DOES have tilt and the deluxe interior, so comfort (other than a/c) and style seemed to be the concern. No radio cars were PLENTIFUL back then, aftermarket stereos were big business and a LOT of people viewed the OEM radios as "junk".

t-tops were a high priced option (almost 10% of the base car cost) and made the cars rattle and flex worse than they did without them (not to mention how wet you would get ...). A/C was the 2nd most expensive option you could get next to t-tops so I feel that the car was not that unusual at all (for the time when it was new).
