I used the Corvette America manufactured dye for my entire interior. it is buckskin, not black, but looks to be correct.

Check them out--I am sure they have the correct color for your year and interior...

I was skeptical at first, but it covers very nicely, with the 'ahesion proomotoer" for har parts (kick panels), and their clear coat...

Thanks much, just got their catalog. It looks like a little more work than I thought, but then quality always is.

I did my 69 with the Corvette America dye. I used the dye surface prep for an undercoat and it worked great. Mine has the bright blue interior but I would expect black to work great too.
