Did you ever check out this car again?
Yes, it is a legit T/A. Must have been a dealer installed radio. On closer look at the antenna mast on the fender it doesnt really look like its in the right spot either. It is a B5 blue with B5 interior and console shifted auto. Pretty rough though. The people know what it is but it remains to be seen how they will restore it. It is an original owner family. The dad bought it new and has died and left it to his daughter and son.
