    Default 1979 interior colors

    What colors were available in 79? I'm thinking of painting my car a brown color of sorts in the future, but I really don't think brown and blue would make for a pleasing combination. I really don't want black either, too blah. So, what other options are out there and if anybody knows how long the specific colors were available, that would help as well. Maybe pics of the color, just so I know what it relates to? If that is available. I've been searching for a couple days now and I have seen black, red, blue, vaquero (love!) a tan of sorts, and a light brownish color (love). Any help or bits and pieces of info that you could provide would be wonderful.

    I would start with the 79 Brochure if you haven't looked at it already. Here is a link http://foureyedpride.com/fep_bild/v/...stang/album10/

    That will give you an idea of what was offered in the Mustang in 1979. Once you have that, you can head to your local auto paint supplier and look at the interior paint colors for the 79 model and that will give you the best idea of the actual color without actually seeing it in a car.

    Best of Luck!

    The above link is to "The Library" section. You have to use the search bar for now. I searched for "1979 Mustang Interior" and came up with five matches. The above is just one, but it is the brochure that contains the info I believe you want to see.

    Edit #1:
    You beat me to it, Trey.

    Edit #2:
    The text is a little small, but if you hold down the "CTRL" key and press the "+" key, that will enlarge the photo to help you read the text.

    That is what I've been looking for. Looks like either vaquero or chamois are my choices. Time to keep my eyes peeled.

    Here is what I have, it might help (although it sounds like you have your choices nailed down). This is from the book "Mustang ID Numbers 1964 1/2-93:

    Well it looks like the pics of all the interior colors didn't show up very clearly (sorry), but the close-ups should give you an idea. If you want close ups of any other colors just let me know.

    Awesome! Thank you all for your help. One question, I've seen a 79 hatch with white interior, which I see in none of the things posted.

    What's your interior color code. I have a vaquero interior in my '79 with "FZ" as the code on the door tag.

    I have my eye on these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/261257034392...84.m1438.l2661, but fair is fair. I'm unemployed, so if you're interested in them, go for it friend. I'll keep looking.

    This is the seller's second listing on these seats. The seller had them listed as "Local pickup only" the first time. I advised him on how he could ship them, so he canceled the first auction and relisted with a shipping cost. They would look great in my Ghia, but...
