... So - was that $3995 with the App. Group & chrome wheels, radio, etc.?? - i.e.: what was the total out the door for yours in 8/72 in KY??

The final price was 4295.50, which included:
TINTED WINDSHIELD
DELUXE CARPETING
INSIDE ROOF FELT LINER
CENTER CUSHION
CHROME FRON & REAR BUMPERS
VINYL TRIM
5.5 INCH STEEL WHEELS
165 SERIES RADIALS
LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL
FOG LIGHTS
I put the Blaupunkt Frankfort radio in myself, though never drilled the body for an antenna.

So what did you do for an antenna?
Mine had what appears to be the factory "radio ready package" which included a Hirschmann manual locking antenna (locks closed with a "key" or screwdriver) mounted in the LF Fender (not dealer "drilled"), speakers in the boxes & ready to install the radio of choice, which the PO/FO chose a Motorola mfgd. VW4412 AM/FM/8-Track unit.
So it appears that the $1132 increase included:
Tinted Glass all around ($87 of the total - good idea it hot climates
)
Forged Light Alloy Wheels (Fuchs 2L in this case - vs. Steelies), mounted with
165HR15 Tires (vs 165SR15's on the 1.7s)
Center Console with Clock, OT Gauge & Voltmeter
2.0L with 95 hp vs 76 hp (or only 69 hp on Calif. 1.7s)
and for their next model year price increase!
... that is assuming that your carpet upgrade meant the App Grp loop pile carpet & a leather shift boot (vs. stock rubber one)??
Otherwise those would be part of the "increased price goodies".
Of note regarding this topic's subject matter, starting in 73 MY the "mouse fur" roof headliner became standard equipment.
Always interesting trading info from back in the day!

Carpet upgrade was loop pile, but leather shift boots didn't come on 1.7's.
Used a windshield mounted antenna for lotsa years, but haven't used the the radios in many years.
Speakers were included in the app grp.
Thought long & hard about the 2.0 (dealer had one at the time) but I was only making $10k/year at the time & was too much of a stretch.
