276 - Leather Pine Green ??
735G - Astral Silver Paint
518 - Becker Radio
531 - Auto Antenna
581 - Auto Climate Control
592 - Heat Insulating Glass
639 - Elimination of First Aid and Warning Triangle
410 - Electric operated Sun Roof
494 - California Version

Attached is a work in progress, spread sheet with MB codes
