Is there a tag that shows the option codes like PS and PW? I've only seen color & interior colors.

Unfortunately there isn't. That is why documentation is so important for rare or desirable options.

Unless you're lucky enough to find your order copy (build sheet), on top of your gas tank or stuffed somewhere inside the car, like on top of the radio, under the carpet, etc.

This is what it looks like.

Thanks Alan. It's supposed to be steel cities gray but got painted laguna gray back in the early 70s because someone keyed it and the original owner changed the color. That is still the 30+ year old laguna gray lacquer paint.

I've been wondering that myself. I need to replace the rubber around the gas cap, when I do I'll try to look.
