Default 1976 Red Coat Hook needed

Looking for a Firethorne Red Coat Hook for a 76.
Can't find a Red one in the Vette Catalogs.

Just get a replacement hook and dye it to match.

Wilcox has the matching interior dye: 431934 1976 Dye. Firethorn Aerosol 76-76 $16.99.

So does just about every other Corvette restoration parts vendor.

Wasn't aware 76s had coat hooks?

Now that I think about it, I believe the 77s had a hook on the passenger side, and I've heard some late build 76s got 77 parts. I've never seen an example myself.

Anyway, just thinking out loud here. I would try Paragon or Dr. Rebuild...they seem to have some of the harder to find small parts.

Does your halo panel on the passenger side have the spot to put the hook on? It was just 77 but maybe some 76s had them?
