Default 1981 interior on an 1980?

Guys,

I posted this problem yesterday but didn't get many replies. I have a registered 1980 Corvette with a 1ZXXXXXX vin number. The trim tag says 642 which is the interior color for a 1981 Corvette. I'm trying to order new interior but don't know what to do. The 1980 had "Doeskin" colors and I've found out the 1981 had whats called "Camel". I believe they are slightly different. Would you order what the tag say? 642?

Stranger things have happened on Vettes with model year changeovers. What are the last 5 digits of your VIN? The production run for 80 ended with 40614. If your VIN is in the end of the run it's always possible they stuck an 81 interior in that car.
