Interior question on early sharks.
Was there ever a white interior package available? I need to replace some of my interior parts, and my wife suggested replacing the bright blue with white. (The car is LeMans Blue).
If white is available, am I correct to assume that the seats and all the other interior vinyl would be white as well, with blue carpet?
Any advice is appreciated.

I don't think any of the early C3s came with white but I'm pretty sure the latter models did. If you can get the seat covers in the color you want you can paint the rest of the panels with vinyl spray to match.

I don't think so. I know a guy that has a pearl white '69 with a red crushed velour interior. I'm sure it was the bomb back in the day.Thanks to everyone else for the help.

Jeff-got the check the other day. Your motor with the valve covers looks just like my '75 L-82 does. Looks SUPERB. Glad you're OK with them. I hope they were "as described".

This thread reminds me of the time my girlfriend got in my 80 model with oyster white leather interior wearing a new bright red dress. It was summertime in Texas and we had the t-tops off. When she got out of the car my passenger interior seat was red! The red dye from her "expensive" new red dress had rubbed off--and into-- my white leather. It took me several days to remove the red dye--which never did completely come out.
