Is it an 'S' or not?

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I don't remember looking at dash trim but it had the same red cloth as 
Jason's rear seat, if you remember that...  You are right that white 'S' 
cars were only produced in 1980... no '81

The fabric is red cloth and not the Red/Black Strobe Stripe...

It looks like the 5 speed was an option for cars that had 4 speeds... 
interesting.
