73 Parchment interior, not the best, show me some nicer interior colors

[Paul G]

The interior is trash. everything needs to be replaced. Finding the original colors, med parchment, light parchment, and white, are almost impossible. I like the white seats and white upper door panels. Plan to keep those colors. Also plan to use Procar Elite 1100 seats in white, anyone have an opinion on those?
Give me some ideas on better color choices while retaining the white seat and upper door panels in white.
What were factory color combos using white seats and upper door panels?
All I can think of is black dash, carpet and center console, everything else white.
Headliner, headliner trim, and sail panels?

black dash, column and wheel, seatbelts, console, carpet and rear package tray. Rest white...

I have seen them with white coat hooks and black coat hooks. I went white because found them. but had black ready to put them.

you can check my pics on signature

about lower panels, the only decent options are... the seatbacks being sold by Classic indutries and the rest just the ones made by Dashtop ( Palco ). You'll find the Palco ones are molded in white but still got a paint coat. and it won't match with the seat back panels white off shade, molded in that color. If you will hange the seats won't have to think about, but just in case.

don't ask me how I know this LOL. And will be dissapointed with the Palco pieces anyway, they are just somehow decent. Do you remember the scam I got you tried to help me with ? LOL...

A pillars were just available by ACCU$hit ( don't get those ). Now Tony Parts offer those supposelly correctly made but it seems just in black.

Consoles. Tony offer the reproductions. Can't tell the console itself but I got a glove box lid I think it came from him which seems to be perfect and matches with a NOS console a I have as spare.

I have somewhere a grain comparision pic of the Palco grain against the original. Will post when I find it

[Nacho-RT74]

found it.

The white panel is one of my lower door ones made by Palco.

The black one is the repro seatback offered by CI. We dunno who is the manufacturer. They were sold initially by a shop called RM restorations or something like that ( long gone now ). But is exact to the original one. The colored ones are molded in colors. The Palco ones are molded in Black or white. Accu$hit, don't exist, don't bother about them. I had to get the rear lowers and A pillars from Accu$hit because they were the only who offered rear lowers for 74... Installed just because there was no option, but recently got really nice black ones what will paint ( I hate paint interior panels but is the only way ). A pillars will be trashed on its own package just as I got them. I kept the black ones painted still on my car... a bit chalky but just close to the glass


Sail panels are not available for 73/74, just 71/72 and 72 SEs

You have a really nice black/white combo Nacho. That is what I had in mind.

[Nacho-RT74]

The lower panels there are still original ones, but chalky. Damages were not too deep yet by the pictures moment ( the thread year tells you how old they are ), but my car has being a driver and panels began to get ugly latelly.

Just noticed the coat hoaks were black by those days... I replaced them to white at the end.

My car was originally blue interior

How are the PUI upper panels? They are available new on Ebay, sold by Tamraz, for $420 for the set of 4. I can also get a nice looking set of 4 used on Ebay for $330. Those will fit right, but need to have the color changed to white.

Taking a better look today at my interior, I can reuse my rear lower panels, and my passenger door lower panel, they just need to be changed to white. Driver door lower needs to be replaced.

It might be better to just by all used panels and dye them all white to get a good color match.

As far I know the repro upper panels available is just the vinyl and I think the cardboard, needing to reuse the metallic section of your panel ( top half )
