Here's the dark in my 72. As you can see, the floor mats don't match

70 is #418 saddle vinyl. I can tell you the door panel is the original.

IMO the 70 saddle is the lightest of them all

Not exactly true. All Vettes will have a trim code for each color and also specifically each year. There are also grain and pattern differences each year. No two years are exactly the same......

That light saddle looks awesome!

Does anyone know what years the light saddle was offered?

They did not call it light saddle in any year that I know of but it was lighter in 69-70 I think.
Saddle
Year Vinyl Leather
69 420 421
70 418 424
71 417 420
72 417 421
Med. Saddle
73 415 416
74 415 416
75 65V 652
Dark Saddle
73 418 422

The numbers don't mean much look at 420 vinyl in 69 leather in71
