Mixed Color Interiors??
I know that two-color interiors was not "the thing" back in the C3 days, but am wondering if some of you have broken the mold and done it anyway?
Interested in seeing pics of anything you've done, but more so two colors of stock interior pieces. For example, a black interior with red seats, or anything else your creativity has produced...

The seats in the Craigslist listing have seat covers over the original seats.
Midamerica has some:

Not so big a "two-tone" thing, but I saw a black horn button in a (I think) 1975 medium saddle interior. It looked okay with the black steering wheel.

Two tone interiors were available from the factory in '76 and '77.

I don't know who's car this is, but I really like the black carpet and steering column to break up the red interior a little.

I was wondering about the exact interior like yours - black dash with different door and seat colors...
Looks good from where I sit...

White interiors in '76 and '77 had the red or blue dash and console. May have been a brown but I have never seen one. My '77 with buckskin has a two tone dash pad. Almost all parts are a different shade.

Here's my factory Firethorn/white interior (with a few mods). Mine just has the seats and doors in white with everything else being Firethorn. Looks like from RBrid's photos they did more white in the 77 two tones, or maybe because my car is white they biased the interior toward Firethorn.
