VERY SWEET!!! My '68 is red / red. Sometimes it is too much red to look at. But this black/red combo is eye appealing.

Real nice. I saw a black 69 with red interior when I was looking for my car but it was all beat up. That is truly beautiful.

Very nice color combo. The red line tires help complete the "look".
Beautiful!

I don't know for some reason I'm not loving it and yet my favorite year and color combo is a 58 w/silver coves, black top and red interior.

Maybe the red is a little too red and I'm not digging the red sun visors.

Muddy, on the 58 we think alike.

What I have always found about red interiors, is that when they are in pristine condition, they look fabulous. But let them get dirty and/or ratty, and they look terrible. For that reason, I like to see them when they are in great condition, but I am not sure I would want to own one.
