Need help please
Just got my first vette. Its a 1980. I was told all the interior was original.
My dilemma is that i am going to replace the carpet and seats. Is the carpet and seats supposed to be the same color? Here are some pics of my car. Thanks http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...2-05163612.png http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...2-05154454.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...2-05163637.png http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...2-05163642.png |
yeah, more or less . .59c is Doeskin....59 paint is frost beige..
check out Willcox.com or Ecklers.com for replacement stuff |
Looks original to me! Before you spend a bunch of dough on the interior, have you thought of cleaning it up? You'd be amazed at what you can do with some of the better upholstery cleaners. I cleaned up a set of grimy bucket seats and while they didn't look new, they sure didn't look bad either! It took five or six times to get them clean, but it was worth it.

My book shows
59 Paint code is Frost Beige 59C Trim code is Doeskin Hope that helps |
Thanks all is that Doeskin carpet? F22 what you can not see is one of the seats is coming a part and needs to be replaced. I do not like the cloth in the seats. I prefer the leather.

Thanks Your interior would have all been the same color as the dash and leather areas. The carpet and cloth panels in your 80 have faded/changed, color over the years. This is actually not that uncommon, with cloth interiors and carpet, from that era. 78-79 Corvettes with the Doeskin interior, did come with either matching carpet, or a darker brown carpet, but this was not the case with 80 Doeskin.

80 Corvettes with cloth seats, had the matching cloth door panel inserts. The leather interior came with vinyl door panel inserts, in place of the cloth ones. :thumbs: |
Looks completely stock to me. Just some fading with time.
