1977 Corvette Question
Did 1977 Corvettes ever come with a two tone interior?
For example: A blue dash, center console, parking brake cover, and carpet, with everything else (including the seats) white?
The car is a late model 77 because it has the newer model gauges etc.

Hey Ben. I have seen interiors like you are describing on the forum in the past. In every case the seats were white. The one I remember had red carpet and dash, white seats and door panels. mike...

Thanks for the replys. So according to the other threads, the two tone color wont be on the trim tag, but will be an option on the build sheet. The tag on the particular car in looking at says 272, which is blue leather.
So what would your guys opinions be on this color combo? Keep the white and blue thing, or just make it all blue? /all white? Could you even have an all white interior???
Are all the roof panels/trim around the rear window frame supposed to be white as well? The windshield trim is white too...

All blue would look kinda drab and plain, all white would look clean but everything would blend together. Blue and white would break it up and would be a nice contrast. Blue and white like white seats maybe white dash and some white on door panels. Just throwin out ideas on what I might do if it were mine. I'd have to study it a while while drinkin a few before I make a decision on the color of the pieces around the windshield and back glass. jmo

Here is a pic of my very early 77 with factory 2 tone.
The white from the factory was in the seats, headliners, quarter trim and garnish moldings.
It was only available with red, grey and blue interiors in leather only.
The carpet on the bottom of the doors was the same as the floor color carpet.
It did not show on the trim tag as 2 tone.
The red/white interior was only available with red exterior color,
the blue/white with either light or dark blue exterior,
the grey/white with either white, silver or black exterior.
An all white interior was never offered.
I had a new 75 Trans Am back then that had the same color combo with white exterior.
The white was a little too much for me, so I changed everything except the door panels and seats to red. Especially bad was the white windshield trim, it really needed to be the dash color.

...if I remember right, a '77 with factory two tone interior said something like "T2J" in the upper left corner of the trim tag? 1976s didn't say this, but I've seen a few '77s that did on the trim tag.

Yep. 76 and 77. Technically you ordered a white interior which included seats and door panels. Carpet and remaining trim was an alternate color.
Post pics of your white and blue. I'd love to see the combo.

1977 interior
I bought a car like this in june 1977 from Throughbred Motors on
I30 in Dallas. Sold it a year later to an Arlington dealer who then
wholesaled it locally. It was L48,auto,luggage rack. I will have to
locate build sheet to list all equipment, came from a dealer in Va.
orginally. Possibly same car.
