OK,  next question:   I'm going to order the complete set but what I need to know is how do I know if the color matches my exact shade of tan?  I thought what I had was called med. saddle but the online store has it as buck skin? or doe skin?   are these the same?   also feel free to add anything else I should know about ordering something like this.  Most of you have experience ordering this stuff.  Thanks in advance!

Looking at your profile I see you have a 77 . In 77 the 2 options for  a tan interior are 642 Buckskin leather and 64C Buckskin cloth. It may not match the rest of the interior due to age,

Who are you looking to buy the package from. 

If you haven't done so already check the driver's side front door jam for the 'trim tag'.  If it is there it will have the color code for the interior that was put in the car as it rolled down the assembly line.

Ok,  got it, 642 leather ,  once again thanks for your help guys.   to answer silver69   I am going with  ZIP corvette or an online ebay guy who sells corvette america stuff.

   Maybe you guys can help me with my choice:   the standard package is like $599  and the delux (from mid america) is $1450 that is a pretty big difference I dont know if I want delux that bad.   I guess I should because that is what it originally came with but give me a break.   an $800 difference?

have you tried Willcox?  I'd also get a can or two the the dye.

Mark,

I purchased a deluxe door panel set for my 74 from a Chevy dealer in L.I. NY through EBay. If I recall correctly, I paid $600.00 for the pair. The panels were sent by Corvette Central. If you'd like I can supply more accurate info, I just have to wait until I get home.

http://www.yankeelady.com/willcox/ I don't know if this link worked I'm no better with a computer than I am with the vette. But I have used them before. I'm putting together my own package because I couldn't find it the way I wanted it. Leather covered foam for my seats on the 80 $550, it looks like your door panels delux about 600 and a couple hundred for carpet. Good luck

Check out Corvette Americas website. They have an area that is called NQP which is Not Quite Perfect. I bought a few things from them and could not tell what was wrong with the item to deserve the NQP title. The price was very good compared to the retail price. You do have 10 days to check out the merchandise and give it your ok. If it doesn't check out, send it back. 

Hey Tunnelback, Ecklers has a deal where you build your own package and get a 15% discount.  You have to get at least 3 components to get the deal.

leather seat covers  459.00

foam seat material    169.00

carpet cut pile coplete 224.00

door panel complete delux 389.00 ea

thats 1181.00 subtract 15%(177.00) = $1004.00

Of course that is befor shipping but sounds like a good deal to me.  Good luck, I am planning to this myself real soon.  Look forward to how it turns out.

 

 

You can save another $100.00 bucks by going with the driver quality leather seat cover set.  They are only available in black though.

their web site is http://www.ecklers.com

 They also sell soundproofing and heat sheilds.  Again good luck with the parts.
