    I just saw your post and story about your cuda. Your is the first car beside mine that I saw painted Hemi Orange with a Saddle Tan Interior. That is a pretty rare color combo. There is a 70 Hemi Cuda in this months MOPAR COLLECTOR"S GUIDE thats is BLACK with a Saddle TAN gut and I think it looks AWESOME !!! Do you know of any others ???

    I personally really like that combo, it's a nice blend one to the other. Makes you wonder why it is rather rare, it looks great?

    Hey JS,
     When I first bought the Cuda, I thought it was a strange color interior to choose with the EV2 Tor-red. I thought to myself, 'why not black or white?'. When it came time to restore parts of the interior, I found out how unusual the H6T5 interior was. I had to special order a headliner from Legendary, send a color sample to Just Dashes, and custom mix  a plastic paint to re-dye the door panels. Thankfully the exterior required no work at all. The sheet metal is all original and rust free!
    Although, I thought for a second how easy it would be to switch to black, the fact that the tan is original and unusual made the choice a no brainer. (My wife still insists I should have switched to black, but what does she know. lol) The attached interior pic shows the iside exactly as it left the factory, except for the add-on tach. BTW, I noticed that your steering wheel can is painted tan and mine is black. Hmmmm

    Might have something to do with his being a rally dash, and your's is standard? I don't know, but that is the only difference I see.

    When I restored the car I found traces of tan paint on the steering can. That was the first time I saw that myself. So like I said before if it was there then it got put back that way..
    Don't know why they are different.
    I have to be honest with you but when I first bought my car I thought about changing it to black interior to but then I found out how rare it was and I always like to be different and I know when I go to a show chances are very good that I will have the only hemi orange car with a saddle tan interior. I think it makes the car look rich !!! But then I may be a little bias
    Thanks for the reply,
    JS27

    Maybe Mike's right. The gauge clusters or instrument panel determined the color of the steering column.

    I also have a yellowish orange paint daub above the master cylinder--and I have marks on both rear wheel wells and both front doors. I also found a production line checklist card under the carpet on the drivers side front..
