What was the original interior color? I think the bronze is a GREAT color for your car (International blue is my favorite for a '68). What was the original interior color? [Bronze looks great with a black interior, but I never liked the bronze interior.]

Thanks for the input fellow Long Islander
I was born and raised in Commack (suffolk county) moved to California last year.

The shop finished the Power Steering today......Why have you heard of any conversion problems? & I'm still looking for a closeup of the Bronze. Alan 71 Had a good idea which I'm looking into

Thanks

Interior is now Black (and it was done right...looks good) but the original interior color is Orange #426
