Default Re: 68 GTO interior questions

I want to try to keep the parts original to the car but am not too concerned with it. The car is a GTO clone(Lemans) that came highly optioned: 4 speed, AM/FM, Rear defogger, remote mirror,deluxe belts, rally IIs, rally gauges, disc brakes, tinted glass, ride and handling package, rear speakers, and a few others. Its just too bad they didn't kick the radio and get the GTO option instead. That is why I had no problem changing the exterior and interior to black. It was originally gold on gold. After the car was taken to metal and the body work was done I could not do the gold. Thanks for the input. It may be a 4 door piece. What are the odds that someone would find another gold rest to install though? I think the ashtray on the driver's rest is a great idea. A smoker hangs is cigarette out the window and can put the thing out right there. In fact, there were a few half burnt doobies in there when I got the car; but that is a whole different story. Thanks again,

Jason

Am I correct in assuming the 66 repro backs are the same as the 68 backs but without the button holes cut out?


Thanks,

Jason

The 68 backs are currently made as far as I know. I have a some black 68 interior parts that I'm not using as my car has parchment.'

Also Just dashes recovers the arm rest pads.

Thanks. I know the 68 backs are currently made. The problem is I would have to buy 2 sets of seatbacks to get 2 passenger sides. My question is, are the 66 repro seatbacks the same as the 68 units with the exception that they don't have the release tab hole cut out?



Thanks,


Jason
