Interior Restoration

763 ~ Black Imitation Leather

Nothing fancy going on here at all... RPO A51 Buckets, D55 Center console, A02 Tinted windshield, No Gauges, No power steering, No power brakes.

As the car spent the majority of its life in Florida, it was apparent the humidity took its toll on some of the interior components. As disassembly began I discovered that the headliner, front seat covers, front door panels and carpet had been replaced. The rear door panels and rear seat cover are still original.

The transformation was going to be minimal but I decided to pull everything out and start from there. While the floors were in good shape, I cleaned them up and then sealed them with a two part epoxy primer. Once that was completed, I installed a new carpet from ACC (fantastic Fit), an original U16 - 5500 RPM Knee Knocker Tach and rebuilt the clock with an original rebuilt clock mechanism from Redline Gauge and Clock Repair. I also replaced the original (worn out) front dash speaker for the U63 AM push button radio with an exact reproduction speaker from Electro-Tech

Other original items I elected not to replace were the firewall pad, standard gauges/idiot lights and the Muncie shifter as I feel they add to the character of this very original '66 SS.
