83L is dark blue. There is no 282 interior code in 79. Check and see if it is 292 which would be dark blue leather.

The Corvette Black Book and the NCRS Manual are both good sources of information and facts.

The Black Book is excellent for facts and figures. This book has the same info plus descriptive text and pictures. A very informative read. Example below. (ISBN 0-7603-0657-5.)

FYI, my car is a Dark Blue/Dark Blue '79. It has the original cloth interior but I replaced the seats with leather since the cloth is no longer available. I still have the original cloth seats in the garage.
