I don't see anything on the Marti Report about interior color aside from seat color. Could the carpet, headliner, and dashpad been a different color from the seats? Do blue seats always have matching blue carpet, headliner, and dashpad?
(I bought a gutted car and don't have anything but the blue seats.)

Thx, Matt

The blue interior I have in my Diamond Blue Mustang is light blue bolsters with dark blue inserts. dark blue carpet, headliner, and sunvisors. The kick panels are light blue, door panels are dark blue with the metal portion of door and rear kick panels are light blue metalic, as is the metal dash and steering column. The rear package tray is dark blue as well. This is how my un-molested 68 coupe is done, and I have seen several other horses of blue color the same. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike, This helps a lot
Are all the painted metal surfaces the light blue? Is the padded dash light or dark blue?
