Nova Interior Colors

LemansblueCOPO · #1 11-21-2007, 02:20 AM

I'm about to send my 1972 Nova out to be painted and have to choose what color I want the car to be. Before, I had my heart set on red, but now I'm really starting to like black. Did novas ever come with a red interior? If the car was black with the red interior, no chrome, and redlines with dog dish hub caps, it would look incredibly tough. The only way I will paint it black is if I could get a red interior for it. So what were the interior color options for novas?

69 was the only year you could get a red Deluxe interior. All of the 69 stuff will fit your interior as long as you don't have the high back buckets. If you have a bench, you're as good as golden. The only thing that may be different are the A pillar mouldings. In 69, they were padded, and 70-72, they were metal. But you could also paint them any color you wanted. But, yeah that would be a sweet ride!

Good luck with it!

Sounds good..But what about the dash pad and all of that? Would there be a fitment issue trying to put the 1968 pad in the 72'?

Hey Dan, Angelo and Joey's is painting the car. They are off of Palmer Ave. near Walters Hot Dogs. The car is getting new quarters and a trunk lid. I'm going to the body shop tommorow to pick out the color, so I need to figure all of this out now. The rest of my week is going to be spent stripping the car to get it over there by next week.

A member here recently acquired a '70 Nova that was originally
black cherry paint & a saddle interior. I have to admit that
this is a unique combination to say the least. You might
consider this.

A 68 pad is all by itself, but unless you are a stickler for grain texture a 69 will work in a 72..BKH

In the Nova, the dash pad grain is the same from 69-72. In 73-74, it changed to a different texture. However, they are directly interchangeable.

Don't think that the 68 pad will fit a 72...?

Nice combo!

A 68 pad is smaller than all the rest..BKH
