I'm about to send my 1972 Nova out to be painted and have to choose what color I want the car to be. Before, I had my heart set on red, but now I'm really starting to like black. Did novas ever come with a red interior? If the car was black with the red interior, no chrome, and redlines with dog dish hub caps, it would look incredibly tough. The only way I will paint it black is if I could get a red interior for it. So what were the interior color options for novas?

69 was the only year you could get a red Deluxe interior. All of the 69 stuff will fit your interior as long as you don't have the high back buckets. If you have a bench, you're as good as golden. The only thing that may be different are the A pillar mouldings. In 69, they were padded, and 70-72, they were metal. But you could also paint them any color you wanted. But, yeah that would be a sweet ride!
Good luck with it!

Sounds good..But what about the dash pad and all of that? Would there be a fitment issue trying to put the 1968 pad in the 72'?
[ QUOTE ] Steve- Good to see you on the forum... Who is painting the car? What was the color originally? -Dan [/ QUOTE ] Hey Dan, Angelo and Joey's is painting the car. They are off of Palmer Ave. near Walters Hot Dogs. The car is getting new quarters and a trunk lid. I'm going to the body shop tommorow to pick out the color, so I need to figure all of this out now. The rest of my week is going to be spent stripping the car to get it over there by next week.

A member here recently acquired a '70 Nova that was originally
black cherry paint & a saddle interior. I have to admit that this is a unique combination to say the least. You might consider this. Nuch

A 68 pad is all by itself, but unless you are a stickler for grain texture a 69 will work in a 72..BKH

Don't think that the 68 pad will fit a 72...?
