Oh I hate to admit this but mine had a burgundy/silver velour interior. Definately a custom job, and is now back to near oem. Maybe it's something in the water up here. :cheers:

If the cloth center section of the seats and the upper door panels have a pattern of small circles or squares about 1/3" in diameter, then it's the OEM interior for 1979.

...and it is no longer produced by anyone, anywhere.

Naw, it's not bad. Not really velour either so it doesn't have that shagadellic '70s vibe. Looks better than the all leather option, IMO.

There's a teenager in our neighborhood who recently bought a '76 with a crushed velvet interior. And EVERYTHING is covered in beige crushed velvet with dark brown piping & buttons: seats, door panels, dashboard!

We need to keep a few of these examples well-preserved to remind folks what the '70s were really like (I was there...) :bb
