Hi all,

Just spent 10 long, hot days in Tucson stripping my GTCS down to the bare bones! The paint guy will be getting it into his shop in late July for a complete rotisserie paint & body restoration job. Then the work really starts!

Meanwhile, I'm looking at ordering the interior and had a question for you guys. I have a 2U interior code. It's supposed to be a standard Parchment vinyl seat interior with headrests. But what color should the carpet and dash pad be? I don't see any carpet colored Parchment - just Lt. Saddle.

Does anyone out there have a correct parchment interior? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug in Alaska

My unrestored 68 GT Conv. has parchment interior and has a black dash pad and black carpet. The painted portion of the dash, door shells, rear quarter, etc. is painted parchment. My CAC report from Ford also states Parchment w/ black all vinyl bucket seats.

I have a picture of a restored GT Conv. w/ parchment interior and it is the same.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Danny,

I think a black dash pad and carpet is correct, however, I know that the original seats in mine were Parchment. Do you know what the interior code on yours is?

I was wondering how a light Saddle carpet would look with the Parchment interior, but it might show dirt too much.

Thanks again!

My seats are parchment as well. I don't know why Ford worded it the way they did on the CAC report. I think a better wording would have been parchment all vinyl bucket seats with black appointments. Only the carpet and dash pad were black.
