Anyone with rare or unusual factory options? How about highly optioned cars?

Not sure how rare it was, but I had an 87 Cutlass Brougham 2 door that had a full blue vinyl top on it and the lower chrome molding all around.. haven't seen a full top car around here since i had mine.
Cool thread.
Neither of my Monte's are rare but they each have some uniqueness to them. My 86'SS was a customer ordered car and the typical options most have but has cruise without delay wipers. Usually it's both, sometimes neither, I don't remember running across one with that combo. Made finding a replacement wiper switch fun.
My 87'LS is an almost fully loaded car, t-tops, buckets/console, all power options available, 3.08 gears, full gauges with tach, EQ radio, vinyl top. But not F-41 suspension and no floor mats in the RPO codes.
I had an 86'SS as a beater years ago that I think had every option, even block heater. I don't think I took a pic of the RPO code but might of written them all down somewhere. I also ran across a 84' Monte in a junkyard a few years ago that had almost zero options, I do have a pic of that RPO code. Only one I saw when looking at the car and running codes was rear defrost. 3.8, solid bench, no power, no AC, non tilt, forget the radio option.

I am not sure what all is rare, but I've been told that on my 79 Malibu Sport, the rare options are power antenna, 50/50 bench with armrests and power driver's seat, int wipers, rear defroster and clock delete. I am in Texas so it has ice cold A/C, and the high beam switch is on the turn signal arm and not on the floor.
My 1988 Monte Carlo LS is a zero option car. Manual windows/locks, bench seat, dummy light gauges, 4.3 V6 and nothing else.
Ive since swapped in power trunk pop, delay wipers, SS buckets/ console, tile column floor shift and a complete 350 swap. It s about to get a t56 and is as far from factory at this point as one could imagine.

Here's my wagon:
Why is it odd?
It's a 1980 Malibu Classic with all the chrome trim.
But everything else is pretty bare bones: 229 V6, Factory 3 Speed manual, no A/C, no power windows, no power door locks, AM/FM radio, no tach. Supposedly it was special ordered by the original owner, I bought it from his son.
One thing I can't figure out. Has my gauge cluster been swapped out or is this an unusual enough setup that GM didn't bother to make a version of this dash without "PRNDL" on it?
