Now the interior was pretty thrashed, almost non-existent. The factory color is Dark Carmine, or red. I liked it red, you don't see alot of red interiors. Mostly tan or blue or grey.

The dash, seats, door panel, carpets, pretty much all the interior had to be replaced. The console and some of the platic pieces were able to be restored/re-dyed. In this picture you can see the factory gauges with tach. The car also came with power windows/door locks, tilt steering, cruise control, air, delay wiper, sentinel dome lights, am/fm stereo, bucket seats, dual remote mirrors and console with floor shifter.

Here is a shot of the rear floor pans. I put some fiberglass down when I was driving it to keep from getting wet. Don't worry, the pans were cut out and replaced.

Looks good, liquidh8! It's nice to see someone else besides me knows that the A6 compressor common on G-bodies works with the older big block A/C brackets. I'm keeping my A/C too. LS6 Tommy
