Aside from what has already been mentioned, it looks like the roll hoops have been paint-matched or have had an overlay applied to them.

Seeing as so much of the car has not gone untouched, I would strongly recommend taking a look in the engine bay and seeing what's what in there, as well.

And have a look under the hood, which hopefully is still the original hood, to see if there is a label under there with several printed 3-digit numbers so you can see what the car came with from the factory. You could also just snap a shot of that and post it and someone here can very quickly tell you what they mean.

well said overdrive.... you hope that the sticker under the front hood is still there.
basically would tell what options came out from the factory...
it depends on what you want to accomplish.. putting it back to original or keeping some and/ or adding or deleting some..
now you can put your personal touch into the car...
it's just one of those things where a good car ends up on the wrong hands!
still not too late to save the car...
good luck and enjoy !

Could also be part of the Factory "Sport Touring" package, that included painted roll bars, wind blocker in the roll bar, leather/aluminum shift knob and e brake lever, silver gauge faces, hi-fi stereo, and cruise control. I think those were all part of the sport touring package, but it's been a while since I checked.
