I think what you're seeing on the interior door panels and bucket seat shells, is the dye that mother mopar used to color the interiors. For some reason, chrysler would simply use a dye of the desired color, to make matching color door panels, consoles, ect.,ect. Back in the day, I owned several challengers with color matching interiors, the one that I remember the most, was a burnt orange interior that showed green everywhere that I rested my arms while sitting in the car. I assume that assy. line shortages or cost cutting measures were the reason.

White interiors are tough to keep looking nice, even on low mile cars. You can get away with murder on an original black interior car, it just hides everything. I don't know if the pictures make the bleeding look worse than it is but it is noticeable.

It's not bleeding, it is the plastic breaking down. The plastic technology of the day was not up to snuff when it came to the colored panels. The black panels last forever but the colors, especially the whites, turned into powder and crumbled away when exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time.
