Neutral Interior
Hey I was wondering if yall have any pictures of a factory Neutral interior on a '75. I have tried a search on here, google, and ebay and didn't really see anything at all. Mine is Neutral, but it was "pieced together". Is the green dashboard normal???
According to the trim tag my vette was originally Flame Orange with a Neutral interior and I have yet to see another with this combo, Im planning on going back to it cause all I see is saddle or black int.
This is what my interior looks like minus the seat covers, took them off the day after I bought it
Oh yea, it has about 10 coats of paint, thats why the red is showing

Hey Chris,
Sorry I can't help you with the picture but, I think your original combo of flame orange and neutral would look pretty sharp. There aren't too many with those colors. And you're right, it's nice to have one a little different than all the others.
Best,
Greg

Thanks, Dont know why that didn't turn up in a search... So I guess at a minimum the steering collum is not factory, and the dash is normal. Thats strange a green dash and white interior, thats Chevrolet though
Anyone else got pics?

...the Neutral Interior offered only in Vinyl on 1974 and 1975 Corvettes is very rare. Most people probably didn't know it existed. In the last 20yrs or so of me looking at C3s at all the Corvette shows I've attended, I have probably seen only a dozen or two '74/'75 Corvettes with it.
...I once saw a '75 L-82 roadster(only 366 built by GM), Classic White exterior with it. Probably "one-of-one"...
...couple years ago at Corvettes @ Carlisle in the car corral under the carport area was a stunning 1974 Corvette 454 Dark Brown roadster with Neutral interior.
...ten years ago looked at a '75 coupe for sale, L-48 automatic, 12K original miles(original paint, tires, interior, etc.)with Medium Saddle exterior color with this Neutral interior in it. Kinda odd combo, but car was super mint and original.

i can honestly say i have never seen one myself. looks nice. most of the 75 interiors i have seen have been red or tan. i have a silver and have not seen many of that color either but these are the first neutral interiors i have seen. good luck with the restoration of it. post pics when you finish it.

Neutral Interior
I have a Red 74 with neutral interior. Mine has a back dashboard. Right now it has red carpeting that needs replaced. I am going with black to match the dash. I also had to replace my door panels. I ordered the neutral I hope it matches. Good luck overseas. I was in Kuwait and Bagdad for the Gulf war in the Army.
