white standard or white comfortweave to me would not make much difference if i was to purchase the car.....its white that you have to like - so its close enought and looks good with the comfortweave...JMO

We were changing out standard for deluxe interiors in the late 70's quite frequently. Buying a good set of used seats was easy and cheap back then and we didn't give a lick about originality! Put it back to stock as that is likely how it was delivered.

I say put it how you like it and not worry.

I'd like to see some pics of the interior as it is... If they didn't make white comfortweave as a regular option, its gotta be ultra rare, Wasn't 68 deluxe interior different than 69?, if so it can't really be a "carry over" from 68, unless its got 68 seats in it. I'd definitely want to keep the white comfortweave if its some "never seen before" one of one 1969 combo.. Not sure how you'd replace the comfortweave seatcovers though.

Maybe when you pull the seats and take the covers off, you'll come across a Fisher document which will have a code for the original covers.

If you remove the seat covers you'll probably find a date on them somewhere. That should help determine if they are late 68 seats or not. I like the houndstooth/comfortweave in my 70 L78 car so if you like that style of seat, go for it. You can always find another set of 69 seats and put the correct white vinyl covers on them.

What they said. Do everything you can to document the interior as being original, then have some matching replacement seat covers stitched up. Post some pics of the original (or at least current) interior and let the opinions pile up. I'd keep the deluxe interior, especially in an SS/RS convert. Standard interiors are just so lackluster compared to the Deluxe ones, and I think white standard is about the starkest looking one available in standard. If you can document that the interior is a special one-off, that would really be icing on the cake.
