Midyear Red Interior

Are all midyear red interiors the same color red?

Thanks

I looked up left dash pad part numbers in red on corvette America site. 65-67 are the same. 63-64 are different. Is there something else about 63-64 that would make them different? Grain maybe?

Thanks

Think the carpet is sewn together in sections with trim tape on the 63-64

63-64 is a little brighter red then 65-67, also 63-64 dash pads are a different grain then the 65-67's

Thanks!
Let me clarify a little more. If you put a 64 red interior next to a 65 red interior will one look more red and the other more orange?

Thanks

Tom,

Yes, if you look at the examples on the back page of the Volunteer Vette catalog, code 35 (64-64) is a darker red than the code 30 (65-67) red interior. The code 30 has almost a tint of orange (more like less burgandy) if you look at it beside the code 35.

This is how a 67 red interior looks.

Thanks! I thought the 63-64 may be a little "redder". I am asking because I am considering a dark blue repaint on the 65. Perhaps Daytona or late model NRB. I am also considering a red interior with it. I love the look of Daytona blue with red but I'm a little skeptical of dark blue over 65 red. It seems a little orange to my eye.

Decisions....decisions.....

Thanks

Hey Marc. It's coming.....slowly. I'm in the process of reassembling the rolling chassis and refreshing things as I go. I have the wiring harness to make as well. Body is stripped to the fiberglass but still waiting on the front end to come in. I'm hoping it will be done in March.

I agree. It is a very classic color combo. My car was close to Daytona blue, before the accident, with white interior. The white is just too hard to keep clean. I considered silver but I love the red.

It's funny you say that. When I show people pics of the color combo 90% of the women don't like it, my wife included, and 90% of the men do. My wife says "whatever you want" but does not care for it.
