It's an addiction, I tell you

Hey Blake, Go through this list and tell me what is wrong and right please. I am trying to get a picture to what is correct for your fender tag buddy.

Your seats were originally Gold ?
Your door panels were originally Gold ?
Your kick panels were originally Gold ?
Your A-pillar trim were originally Gold ?
Your interior side window trims and rear inner trim were all Gold ?
We now know your roof lining was Gold from you telling us the sunvisors are Gold.
That is a super rare coloured interior buddy, and i mean super rare.
So you would have had Black dash, Black carpet, and everything else would have been Gold. WOW. I have heard about this combo, but have never witnessed anyone who had one until now.

Close,

The following was gold;
Door panels, rear panels, sun visors, headliner (assuming since the sun visors were gold)

The following was black;
Dash, windshield interior trim, back glass interior trim, side window interior trim, black lower dash a/c cover/trim

I know the dash is original as it still had the factory paper tags behind it and it had all the gran coupe buzzer relays etc.

The window trim could have been painted over, I'll have to check them in storage. The kick panels were not in the car when I bought it and neither was the carpet.

What would the odds be that it had a black headliner and Gold visors?

Hey Blake, If you can double check the interior parts around the side and rear internal windows to see if they have been painted black over Gold, that will give us an indication to what the roof material colour was, i am saying it would have been Gold going by your sunvisors alone, and if your internal widow trim has not been painted, i would think they were replaced. But if you can check each one of them to see if you can find evidence of any gold on them, you may have to give them a wipe over with some thinners to remove the black to see what is underneath the Black too.
Can you see if the A-pillar trim has been painted too bud ?
Your car will be very helpfull for reference sake if anyone ever again posts that they need help in identifying what colour went where in such a rare interior colour combination my friend.

I know the A pillar trim is black and now that the other interior window trims are black. The interior panels for the door and rear were painted black over the gold. I'm thinking that someone swapped for black window trim when they installed the awesome leopard headliner and painted the door panels black. They even painted right over the Gran Coupe wood grain with black. What is weird is that they left the seats and the sunvisors gold.

I'm with hemiken on this with the exception that the original kick panels most likely were black not gold in my opinion.

I have never seen this combo in an E Body before either.

[hemiken]

Your right Alan, the kick panels would have been black now that i think about it, i have looked at plenty of other two tone interiors, and the list makes sense to me with what colour should be where. Blake, if you do find time to check things over. I would suggest before the twins arrive, as you will most likely not get any time after that happens buddy

The more I think about it, It may have had black kick panels in the car. I will check my old pictures of it when I picked it up to see. I do know that I now have two sets of black kick panels for some reason. This would explain where the second set came from.

[hemiken]

Keep us posted please buddy

Yep, black kick panels were in it

This has been very valuable information that you have provided us with Blake. Certainly clears up a lot of things, but when you do get a chance to look at the window trim and give it a wipe over with thinners to see if it is Gold underneath, that will be great, i am still uncertain to what the roof lining would have been, as i have seen a Red and White interior `Cuda convertible before that had red front windshield frame inners and White sunvisors, no roof lining of course being a convertible, but it make me wonder to what your had from new.
Thanks for all you have helped with so far buddy.

Took me a while to get back to this thread...a lot has happened I see!  great work on the car!  The P6XY is in deed a rare interior!  I would tend to agree with Ken that the carpet, dash, floor console and kick panels were black, and the rest gold.  Just like an XW interior car.  I wouldn't see any reason why there would a deviation from that formula so to speak.

Fin - Keep up the good work!
