C-3 1970 coupe interior color

[Jack bogosian]

I am having a heck of a time trying to match the light saddle interior of my 1970 coupe to anything I need to replace on the car.. for example I ordered a break console from Dr rebuild since the one I have has 4 holes in it (the last owner screwed a 8 track to the top of the console)The console does not match at all.. I ordered rug mats same thing..Should I try to repair the little holes and buy the can of interior matching paint from ecklers and spray the console ...Hope the paint matches...Does anyone have a light saddle interior who can help me with these things.. Thanks in advance Jack

Jack:

There is a 1970 Corvette registry website, I would join that and post your question there. That light saddle vinyl interior color is not very common, as their website color wheel indicates, but I believe some members might steer you in the right direction for some replacement excellent used interior pieces.

Jack,
I also have a 70 coupe with the light saddle interior.If you look carefully nothing is really the same color as anything else.The door panels and seat covers were replaced so they're fairly close but everything else is a shade lighter or darker.I imagine oxidation, cleaning, etc. takes it's toll on this lighter color.. Even the matching interior paint I ordered to do the seat backs is off in color. It appears more yellow. I think the trick here is do the whole interior or expect some differences. Pete
