Interior Replacement?

What f-body interiors are interchangeable with a 1985 camaro? It doesn't have to be the entire interior, It can be just the dash or the console.

Welcome to the boards. Any 3rd gen F-body interior should fit in your car. Lots of styles and options over the years so you may have to look around a little to find something you like. Also many 4th gen F-body interior parts also bolt right in. Seats are a straight swap, and the center console with a little work ( Lots of posts about that here on this site ), some people have also put their door panels and dashes in but that takes a lot more work.

There was a slight change in the hatch plastic in '89. Seat belts were changed from lap belts to over the shoulder, mounted inside the trunk plastic over the wheels. Anything pre 89 will be a direct swap. Dashes changed in 90, not sure how hard the swap would be. Hope this helps!

Welcome! and don't forget ANY 4th gen (93-2001) seats bolt in with no modification AND so do the center consoles (use a manual center console if you have an automatic).

the consoles don't fit right in camaros, they're a straight swap into a firebird though. for 4thgen door panels/dashes it's best to swap out the entire interior so it all fits together right. the absolute best way to go about it is to find a donor car with a complete interior and perform the swap.
