Swapped interiors in the IROC :)

Yeap, me and my friend did the ol total interior swap, he got my Gray interior & I got his Medium beachwood tan int.

Some of you guys are probably saying, "WTF! beachwood tan!?"

I love the semi-rare beach wood tan int. and in the year I got it "88" they supposedly made 3k-4k tan interiors so I came up, it is in very good condtion & the pics dont gve it justice.. I took pics of the entier swap check them out!


Here is a pic of the entier tan removed from my friends car.

You were right......that is one clean interior

So for your friend to install the NON-spilt rear seats he simply removed the bracket?

I absolutely love the Med. Beechwood!!! That's what I have...but I'm switching to the light doeskin cuz I found one it perfect condition. If I could find the Med. Beechwood in that good condition, that's the way I'd go. No flame intended, but the grey is so blah. Love it or hate it, the tans/reds/blues and blacks at least have a little character. IMO

Having no seat probably would have made it difficult

you should have bolted the drivers seat in and ran to see how much you can gain in these car by basically gutting the interior....btw- looks good

Mark A Shields, I will try to post the charcoal interior for you. It is out of a '84 Z28.

Just for you Mark ...

..A. Shields. Here's a charcoal out of a '84 Z28.

pm Denny aka LFN AT U or go to the So Chicago/No Indiana board. He has charcoal interiors, sometimes in leather.
