Hi, picking up a '72 roadster soon (was supposed to be tomorrow, but they had it serviced today and the pitman arm needs to be replaced before I drive it the 150 miles to my home. :-( ). It's a sb with a couple of options including tilt/tele, ps, hardtop. WBY with black interior.

I'm starting to accumulate parts to freshen the car up, and that includes interior. I'm looking at the Willcox interior kits and am leaning toward upgrading the interior to leather with the deluxe door panels. The car has vinyl and standard panels today, but I figure for the extra $5-600 or so (and they have 20% off now) it's worth it to me. I'm not that concerned about 'not being original' on the interior. Any considerations I'm not thinking of (for example, do all the seat covers use the same base seat foam, etc.)?

Thanks for your help! Paul

Paul,

The seat foam is the same. Willcox can do the seat cover installation for you. They also offer a seat frame rebuilding service. They have two sets of my seats now. I know they will be beautiful when I get them back!

Check on the sun visors also... I think the standard interior had comfortweave visors, but the leather interior had more of a flat vinyl looking one. The comfortweave may not look right with the leather.

Hi,
I believe you'll find there was a change in the sun visor material from the smoother 'Madrid' vinyl to the 'Comfort Weave' vinyl pattern late in 1968.
The 70-72 cars all had 'Comfort Weave' visors regardless of whether the car had the 'Standard interior' or the 'Custom Trim' option.
Regards,
Alan

Don't forget the carpet is different too, standard vs. the deluxe option.
