Girl needs Red Velour!

I got a 1985 z28 for Christmas this year!!! YAY but I need some help... my interior is faded and I am trying to find Red Velour. The whole interior is red and I have contacted Hawks thirdgen, they dont have it and are trying to convince me to go black on the side of the doors and sides of the seats with the (camaro camaro) middle, but I really like the red. This car only has 30,000 orginal miles.... its MINT and I want to keep it as close to original as possible.
Any help would be great!

Re: Girl needs Red Velour!

Check out this thread i made about those interiors a few years back. The first page gives you some info about them as well as sources to buy the fabric from. Hope this helps. Also...your smart in keeping the red. That is an unusual interior and a stand-out at shows.

Lucky...looks like a stupid nice car other than the faded interior and likely dry-rotted tires (since they haven't made Eagle ST's in about 20 years).

Hmm the only thing i can think of is the interior code color that GM gave it which is FRR9. The red was an 85 only color. 83 and 84 had more of a orangy red with black carpeting. It will def be sharp when you get someone to redo the seats.
