97 850 options

Hey guys
My 850 base wagon is pretty bare bones. heated seats and power drivers seat. no sun roof key fob tracs or anything. Just wondering if we could get a list of possible options available for the 850s that i might be able to find at a junkyard or something. I already upgraded the stereo and replaced my clock with the 850 trip computer.
what would a fully kitted out 850 have in it?

My 97' 850 GLT came with a couple of interesting options which could have been part of a package, but I don't know this for sure.
It has a wood grain dash and shift knob and a power passenger seat. I have only seen 2 or 3 other ones so far with this.
Since it is a GLT, it also came with a leather interior, sunroof, automatic climate control, Cetus wheels and winter package with heated seats and TRACS. There are probably other features that I can't think of right now.

Ahh, and of course it came with a LPT engine

Everything from satnav to adjustable suspension to real wood trim could be ordered. Chances of finding such items now is low as a fully loaded 850 had a six figure price tag.

Robert DIY on youtube has a great video detailing a lot of upgrades you can do.

Im going to do some searching about installing the tracs control. I just did a manual swap so i dont need winter mode. might look around for some wood trim but might also try vinyl wrap for my dash. if i come accross a second power seat i might try to throw that in as well. I redid my dash lights with amber leds last summer but they arent very bright so i might try different ones.
the only other thing i want to look into is bulkhead sound deadening.

Sounds like you have the "cold weather" package. Take a look at using a carbon fiber wrap if you want to upgrade the look of your interior. It's pretty easy to apply and will modernize the look of your car. Check out youtube for some good diy videos.
