Yes, the 83 SX/4 was the rarest of the three years with only roughly 2500 being made.

very nice!  SX/4s aren't so rare in the east.  As soon as i get some time free I am going to seal the deal on a pair of 83 SX/4s from the original owner, they are mostly complete down to the "his" and "hers" plates on the front

the brand pyle makes a shaft style radio that excepts SD cards, USB, has a aux port, and digital display.  I got one off of amazon for about 60 dollars that included 2 speakers.  Pretty good unit to place in the car instead of cutting the radio opening out for a CD player

Odd that a DL model has full vinyl seats.  I will have to check but I think part of the DL package was the vinyl/fabric version.   Looks to have plenty of potential.  1983 was the last year for AMC to build 2-door cars (that were not Renault based).
