Yes. 78-82 for that matter with the exception of the rear storage compartment doors, but you do not need an interior. You have your choice of two with this car.

All Pace Car interiors were silver (Pace Car only) cloth or leather. The color was not used in any other 78s. If the black interior actually came from a Pace Car, it has been dyed. It is much more likely the black interior with the car is a standard 78 interior.

I'm in Atlanta and willing to help. I don't know everything, of course, but have done a lot of work on my '81.

Heck ya man that would be awesome. I'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon and I will keep y'all posted about it. The car is that Chevy burnt orange color. What does everyone think about that? It looks good in the pictures, I'm just making sure its actually a good looking and respectable color for these year corvettes.
