Black car with red interior really looks good, but so does black on black.

I'm not a big fan of tan or red. Dark grey interior.

I said red & black. Go black with red stitching and a few accents.

Well you got the choice of

Black
Red
Tan
Cinnabar
Silver

Here's Cinnabar



I wanted to go with Red or Tan but I left the car its original interior color and now I am glad I did.

Tan or black. Black is easier to get parts for, but tan gives it kind of a European look.

I had black ext with oyster interior and liked it but have been switching mine to red with a little bit of black trim thrown in. Looks sharp.

One of my cars is black with the dark saddle interior. I like it!

I had a black 79 with red, but over time I think the red wore on me a little. Not that I don’t like the red, my 62 is red on red and I love it! The 79 red was just so darn bright and maybe this is what turned me a little off about it over time. Maybe a mixture would soften it up a little.

I think black with red is unusual, but very sharp looking.
Regards,

Does your car have the wood grain accents in the door panels and rounnd the shifter face plate? Just thinking that the interior color should look good with the wood grain if so equipped... IMO Also, how much do you leave the car outside... I've seen a lot of faded red interiors.
