In my  quest to reproduce my window sticker I am curious.  The 1972 MY  
suggested prices for the TR6 list the hard top, overdrive, tonneau  
cover, wire wheels and red bank tires as the ONLY dealer options.  (I  
assume the boot cover was standard????)  So, does anyone have old  price 
sheets for the other options?  (IE: USA stripe kit, luggage  rack, air 
conditioning, overrider bars, floor mats, AMCO console,  fog/driving 
lights, etc.)

Although the first set of options you list could have been installed by the  
dealer, it would have been almost prohibitively expensive to do so for all but 
 the tonneau cover. I'd consider them to be "factory" options. Meanwhile, I  
suspect that a boot cover would have been part of the "hardtop package."
 
As for the second set you list, likely they would actually be  
dealer-installed. As I recall, cars on the lot or on the showroom floor with any  
dealer-installed items would likely sport an additional sticker listing those  items and 
their prices. At least that's what I always remembered seeing here at  the 
Albany, NY, area dealers back in the 1970s, especially since almost all of  
those items were sourced in the US by BLMC and/or their distributors.
