Default Carpet

Hi
You think the green carpet with the gray seats is an option that was sold in 76 ?

What does the trim tag show for interior color? I wouldn't think they would use different color seats.

FWIW: I think your seats and door panels are white, not gray. There was a two tone interior option for 76 and 77 with white leather upholstery and white door panels. Everything else was carpet color.
Here's red.

I think whoever tried to dye your seats probably used something on the carpet they shouldn’t have as well.

No green interior of any shade in 1976. Likely someone dyed the white because it was impossible to clean. It also looks like the seats and steering wheel were dyed grey. There was no grey interior in 1976 and that's the proper (if rather despised) steering wheel also used in the Chevrolet Vega.

OOPS! There was a "silver grey" interior but that still looks like a white interior dyed in different colors to me.

Post a picture of your trim tag. The large bright aluminum (supposed to be) plate at the front of the driver door opening.

Looks like the exterior finish is Silver metallic and the interior was Smoke Gray. Looks just like a 76 I was looking at and it has the same color wheel and dash pad. The car was Silver metallic and they gave it a two tone paint scheme like a 78 Pace car.
