Ithanks' the car is all stock and original its super clean with 61000 MILES
it 'black over charcol with tan interior 5spd sunroof. No window sticker

I scraped that off in1986 but have a dealer brochure and the build sheet
must still be somewhere in the car.

Wow, your car is stunning. I think that it shines more now that it did when it was new. The interior has piqued my curiosity. Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that a tan interior with gray seats? Is that something that you changed, or did it come to you that way?

Awesome car Fredzilla. Earlier this year I bought one just like it only without the sunroof. Absolutely stunning. I hope mine turns out that nice when I am done.

I believe those are tan seats. They tend to wear towards the color grey from what I have seen.

Thanks for the feedback and info.Yes that is

a two-tone tan interior and Negusm is right drivers

seat top left side has faded somewhat from sun

does look greyish .Any suggestions on fixing this.

For the halos...use some Lacquer paint from 50Resto. I did it on some interior pieces:

I have since done some severely sun-damaged and scuffed sill plates. They are NEW again. IMHO anyone who is looking for perfect primo interior pieces are wasting their time. A coat of lacquer paint is amazing. The blue console cover I did still looks perfect and better than the repro I bought.

For the seats, either new upholstery or you can try fabric dye. I have new upholstery and LOVE it. My seats are new and plush again.

amazing. Stunning interior, reminds me of what my vert interior looked like before I ruined it. Tan looks so good when in good condition!!
