Black/Sandlewood? Sounds awesome - never saw one b4, but I know it looks great in a 'vette. Gotta pic?

I too am restoring a 72 Nova, but I want a blue interior for my car. The reason I bought this car, is that my dad bought a 72 brand new, and mine is optioned identical to his car except for the color combination. I was going to restore it to look like his car. Is there a company out there that is reproducing a complete interior kit in blue for a 72 Nova? I have found them for 69 and 70 but no 72. My dad's 72 Nova was blue with a white painted top, and blue interior. See attachment for a car similar to his.

A white painted top? In '72? I thought the last year for the painted tops was '69 or '70, no?

I have seen other 72's with white painted tops

[Andy]

Yes, it had the white painted top. My dad still has the protect-o-plate, confirmation of sale sheet, which basically listed all options that the car has and states the payment installments, Chevrolet passenger cars and trucks new vehicle inspection procedure, and the GMAC payment book.

That's cool, I didn't know that painted tops were available through '72 - I thought they stopped after '69. I think the painted top is a neat option.

This was my 69-was a cool look

Me too. If my current 72 had a painted top instead of a vinyl top from the factory, my rust repairs would be much less extensive. Nobody reproduces a roof skin for 68-72 Novas either, right?

That car is awsome! I know exactly what the trim codes would be for that car. It would be code 26 11 with a trim code of 756 or 757. The 756 would be dark blue cloth with bench and the 757 was the custom vinyl with bench. Do not confuse that with the deluxe interior because it had the standard door panels and the vinyl was like "tuck n roll". 70-72 were the same dark blue vinyl. 70-71 were the same cloth and I think in 72 the cloth changed patterns a little bit. My first car was a 71 with code 26 26 and it had a 756 interior code. NO ONE is reproducing that interior at the moment. I repeat NO ONE. I have done quite a bit of research on that trm code for the interior and the only thing you can do at the moment is get all the vinyl and the cloth from SMS auto fabrics. Don't get the repro stuff because the blue ins't even close to what the original is. The 70 I am doing right now is going to receive the blue vinyl and cloth. I have only seen a couple on ebay with that interior and none at shows. Keep that combo! I LOVE IT!
