From the few pictures provided it looks like a very solid car. Maybe you could post a couple of more pictures of the interior and engine compartment. I don't think I've seen one with the sunroof, just the T-tops. Was it originally sold new in CA or is that where you got it from? The only reason I ask is that the ones sold new in CA had the CA emissions and a slightly taller rear gear ratio. CA cars got 2.56 gears instead of the usual 2.73's. A/C was also mandatory for all CA cars. Limited slip can always be added later, if desired. Auburn, Yukon, Eaton, and others all make posi differentials. Congrats on your purchase. Welcome to the site.

Thanks everybody! I’ll get more pictures when I can get it out of the garage. We will have to make do with the radio bezel at present. My daughter will want some aftermarket Soundsystem in there anyway. I’ll have to check all the paperwork/documentation we received with the car. Not sure if it was sold new in California or not. Looks like all original parts are on the car with the exception of the tires, spark plug wires, battery, and a few other small items

License plates are from around 1980 or possibly late 79 so it possibly is a CA car
