I bought my 84 Anny last weekend. Its in nice shape, needs a mild resto being 22ish years old.
My goal is a nice occasional driver. Any mods will be bolt ons that dont require drilling holes, I plan on keeping any parts I remove.
My big issue is the red trim and red interior.
Im just not a big fan of red interiors. So why did I buy red? The body is rust free, V8, 5spd, T-tops, its tough to find a 22 year old car with everything the way you want it, so a few compromises had to be made.
Im thinking of repainting the car the orginal white with either standard GT black trim, or the anny trim done in black, and replacing the red interior with black.
The seats, door panels, headliner, carpet, and dash are shot. The interior panels are in good shape but faded.
Red interior parts are hard to find, repainted red parts end up fading again, black is the only color that seems to hold up well.
I hate to change a special edition car this way, but I bought it to enjoy it, not worry about future value or collectabilty.
The car I had been looking for was a 85GT, but I live in the middle of frickin nowhere, and the selection was somewhat limited.
Opinions?
