Well.. as far as the actual spyder package, you have possible whats known as a "Z01 only" spyder.
It took Suspension option Z01 and Decal option Z02 to make a full spyder package. But some customers wanted to go fast goodies without the decals, so they only got Z01. (you couldnt get Z02 alone, only Z01)..
Those are much more rare, something like 1010 made for 1979. Your's has some possibility of being one of these, since it has the rare side spyder emblems, which only came on "Z01 only" models .. (have any pics?).
If the rear spoiler wasn't ordered (or deleted) (was pretty sure Z01 included spoilers but memory get's foggy over time...it's in my notes somewhere) Then not only wouldn't your car have one, but that would eliminate the "02" code from your trim tag as well, since that code was for the fisher body guys to drill the holes for the spoiler.
But it does have one extra dot, indicating some option installed. Sounds like you have a Z01 spyder on your hand's. Back then it was possible to add and delete most every option at your will.. So stripped down spyder's aren't out of the question. I bet allot of customers did that to save weight, and get a spyder for a more reasonable price... Also a dealership could have ordered the car to advertise it at a the cheapest price in town get customer's into the dealership.
