The interior is off-white ("bisque").  All of interior is covered in the same synthetic leather material, including the dash and door panels.  The picture of the 'Cuda stitching is closest to the actual interior color.

The resto was done by American Muscle Car Mania in Summerdale, AL.  The trim on the door panels is also mahogany.

I knew that car looked familiar to me, but I couldn't place the when and where until American Muscle Car Mania popped up :hyper: This thread has some pics before completion from this year's Battleship show in Mobile. Beautiful image man :thumbsup:

WOW! I love how the interior came out, I'm not one for "white" but it just flows for the way the car is set up.  :droolingbounce:  :worshippy
