As the title implies, I am curious if anyone sells a complete interior package. The works, carpet, seat covers, and all the interior panels.

I want to re-do my interior and I'd rather not waste my time trying to recondition 30 year old parts.

I expect it to cost ~$3000, is this reasonable?

Thanks!

 

Your cost estimate is fair, maybe a little low if you do the seat belts and dash pad too., You won't find packages that contain everything you need. Too many variables. The good news is you can stroke a deal with a Corvette parts vendor by letting him/her know everything you want, then ask for a "package discount"....G/L

 

My 1970 BB Coupe came with a black interior. I always wanted red. I've bought all the interior pieces in red. $3000 sounds about right. A problem is that some of the repro pieces doen't fit well. Al Knock's door panels fit beautifully - no problem. Carpets and seat covers also were no problem. I haven't tried to install the instrument panel and paseengers panel. The center console fits ok. The strip between the T-tops has problems. The T-top panels don't fit. The upper quarter panels, the "halo" panels don't fit well. I'm optimistic that I can get this stuff to fit. I've tried to "re-dye" original parts without much success. I think my re-dying work was too aggressive. I think if I try a lot of light coats, over and over, this might work.

Some of the interior parts that you might buy from the standard corvette vendors, are in fact, made by EC Products. (Everything Corvette Products). I think their office is in Santa Clara, California. Some of the parts I had problems with were made by EC, but when I called them they stated that many Corvette parts vary so much from year to year, and even within the year, that it's difficult to get exact fits with their products for everybodies car.

 

I tried to track down EC when the 68 park brake console did not fit. They were no help. Ended up modifying the new item to make it fit. Not impressed.

 

Al Knoch was the vendor I used for my restore. A lot of the plastic parts including the dash, I sprayed with dye. Spraying silver over silver, or black over black wasn't difficult. Cleaning very well and taping off prior to spray was the biggest challenge. I have to say the prep was well worth it. One thing you will find tho, the aftermarket parts no matter who made them will not fit as well as what you removed OEM.

I agree with 78PACER. I got most of my interior parts from Al Knoch but still had to do some work to make things fit right. I was able to do mine for around $3000 including seat covers with foam, door panels, dash pads carpet and some other stuff. I did mine last winter during the cold and snowy months.

 

Thanks for all the good advice, I am glad my price is somewhat on target. Some panels are in pretty good shape, and I have a quart of the dye I need, so I may try that before ordering everything.

Sounds like Al Knoch is the way to go, thanks for the referral.

 

Email me a list of the parts you need. I will put a package together for you. We are a supporting vendor here on the forum and offer discounts to members. Our interior parts come from the best sources availble. corvetteworks@aol.com

 

Pretty sure corvette america gives you a discount when you buy everything at once. Also Wilcox offers complete kits on ebay.

 

I was wondering the same thing. And does any of them ship to norway? My corvette was left outside the whole winter last winter, without me knowing it. I got really pissed when i found out. Now i need everything inside new, and a paintjob because snow and ice destroyed the paint. Frustrating. Wish you all a great day

 

Just a rookie thought:

Did you consider re-dyeing the panels that get very little wear....that alone should save you big $$$$$$ that you could dedicate to better-fitting items. Like one member said-Quality dyes in several light coats do better than the old-school off-the-shelf dyes.

 

Knut -

We ship to Norway, and can sell you the entire package. If you have a list of items you want to replace, email them to me at support@Willcoxcorvette.com and I'll personally put a price together for you.

Thanks for your reply i've sent you a list wish you a great day

 

8 years later this is still on my list...been off doing other things, but recently got the Vette back on the road. I'll be in touch sometime next year Willcox.

 

Clean and dye/paint anything that is original and in great condition. The fit is better.

I have a C3 1975 Corvette L-82 T-Top 4Spd. I need to replace almost everything in the interior beyond the givens like carpet, door panels, seat covers, etc. Many of the other panels are cracked or have holes in them. I have checked many of the sites out there, but seem to come up short and that is even when calling their tech support.
I know the OP started this post many years ago, but I feel it is still very relevant. Has anything changed since meaning does anyone sell a complete interior package for my car? I cant find a thing.

 

Old thread...but i just did mine ( 82 ) the seats , door panels and carpet came as a set from Corvette America.. then i purchased dash , kick panels , complete screw set , etc...i replaced 90% 0f mine

 

Don't forget the resale on your stock stuff. Post it here on the for sale section. Could get decent money to help with cost of the new stuff.

Maybe take it apart in the off season, collect money for the old and buy new stuff for next spring?

 

Thanks for the response. I was actually doing that, but piece by piece it gets very pricey. I was hoping for a complete package to possible cut costs. Anyway, it does not look good for a complete package.

 

Thanks for the reply. I have already completely dismantled the interior. I am removing everything to get it ready for new paint. I was hoping for a new interior, but I need almost everything so a complete package would have been nice.
