Hard to find photos of inside the car and colours what I have seen most were black some dark blue and black, dark grey and dark blue, white cars had reddish brown and red cars had reddish brown too.
Might look at two tone on the inside if needed can always lighten colour with flat white.

The Red Torino with the white strip used in the TV cop show had two different colours found one photo with all black inside then found another shows all light grey yes! :lol:
There was one at Cessnock years ago from the show it had dark green inside and they found the Torino was dark metallic green and it was full of rust in the lower part of the body and had cardboard tape in places too. yes! Once it was rebuilt it had XA-Fairlane running gear put in it.

Just picked up some XF-8 Flat Blue for the inside of this one and will put a coat of X-35 semi gloss clear on top. It will look like the vinly that was used in the 70's, Now waiting for find weather again to do some painting.
thinking Luke might be right saying about the XF-8 Blue. yes!
