The carpets are worn through, but it is required to be OBD-II compliant (though it is, in fact, not).

This one has potential.  Is it not OBDII compliant because of you/a previous owner or the factory?

Does not have door impact bars.

Has a speedo with 55 mph prominently marked.

The best tires I can get in the stock size are 500TW, but a full set costs just over $200. Shipped.

Was the performance variant because it had fuel injection, but still only has double-digit horsepower.

10 years before an 8-track was a fad

Before an FM radio was an option in that car

over 20 years before EFI was an option in that car.

two years after seat belts were mandatory to be installed in passenger cars

My "favorite" has the infamous Teves Mk II ABS system. If you haven't heard of this, congrats. Oh, it also has automatic seat belts instead of airbags.

My "daily driver" has an OBDII port but it wouldn't have had an aux port on the stock radio. Does that pin it down enough? It's early enough in the OBDII timeline that I'm not sure how fully compliant it is. It also has a distributor instead of coil packs or COPs or whatever.
