I just quickly looked on Corvette Central and I am seeing dark green as a color option for interior parts for a 79. Is your interior color dark green? If so, I think you will be able to locate what you need from Corvette Central, Ecklers, Mid America, Willcox etc. Lots of companies out there for you to choose from.

Maybe not, but that's not a big issue. You can match interior color with SEM [liquid] ColorCoat vinyl dye...mixed to the interior color code and sprayed onto the parts. It will work on plastics and leather. It would be nice if any new seat covers were sold in your color; but you could re-color them, if necessary.
If you want to recolor 'new' parts/pieces, you must wipe them down with alcohol or volatile cleaner prior to applying vinyl dye; otherwise, any residue from the manufacturing process could cause problems with bonding of the dye to the parts.
