My car was beige when I got it and I hated the beige with cinnabar.
I painted the car black and I was going to go with red interior.
After seeing the black with cinnabar I decided to stay with
the cinnabar because I actually liked it. Also, there are not
that many out there with this color combination.

spedaleden,

man your car brings back memories, had a friend that bought a brand new
Black/Cinnabar cloth 4-speed back in 81. Was the most awesome looking
81 on the road at the time and would love to have that car today.

When Cinnabor or Tan fades. The carpet looks terrible.

If you look hard at the picture with the battery door. That carpet on the door is the original. I have not changed it yet. You can see a difference in color between the battery door and the sub panel.
