I really like this interior combo.
How close is "oxblood" to this red? Or what C3 color would be a close match? I'd have the seats black and have only the carpet and door panels oxblood. I think that's look sharp with Cortez silver.

Oxblood is more like Maroon - dark red.

i think that he's right. Closer to claret (1980 color). Oxblood is darker.

Jughead I have a Silver '80 with Claret interior in my shop that I will dismantle for my next project. The interior will come out. The drivers door panel is sunburned in one spot, the seats have brand new covers on them and the armrest and console e-brake covers are good along with the seatbelts. Let me know if you need any of it.
BTW, Claret is beautiful with silver.

Thanks. I already have new door panels that I'll dye. I just need a new carpet. Everything else will be black. I'm using black C5 seats.
Maybe I should just stay with all black?
