72 Monte Carlo with factory cloth seats


72 Monte Carlo

Recommended Posts

My 72 Monte Carlo was ordered by a local woman, and it was Sequoia Green with a black vinyl top, green interior with cloth seats, tilt column, A/C, 350 4bbl, 350 turbo trans, 2.73 gears, etc. Is there any vendors for the Monte Carlo that makes and sells the cloth seat upholstery? I've seen lots of vinyl seat stuff, but not the cloth upholstery.

 

From the build sheet that I found on top of the gas tank, here are the options she got when she ordered my Monte Carlo;

 

A01 - All tinted glass

B37 - Floor mats

B42 - Lugg compartment mat

B80 - Roof Drip Molding

B85 - Belt Reveal Molding

B96 - Front/Rear OPG Molding

C08 - Vinyl Top

C24 - Depress W/S Washer Pump

C60 - Air Conditioning

GW5 - 2.73 Gear Ratio axle

J50 - Power Brakes

JL2 - Power Disc Front Brakes

L48 - V8 350 CI 4BB

M38 - CBC Trans

N33 - Tilt Steering Wheel

N40 - Power Steering

PA3 - Custom Wheel Disc

PU8 - G78x15WW Tires

UF1 - Map Lamp

U25 - Lugg Compartment Lamp

U26 - Underhood Lamp

U27 - Glove Box Lamp

U28 - Ash Tray Lamp

U29 - IP Courtesy Lamps

U35 - Electric Clock

U63 - AM Radio

U76 - Windshield Antenna

U80 - Rear Speakers

ZJ9 - Lite Group

 

She ordered it and it was built in the Van Nuys Plant, then it shipped directly to the Tigard Oregon, and then to Maurice Roy Garage in Pilot Rock, Oregon, which is where she lived and bought it from.

 

I got it from the guy that bought it from her, so I'm the third owner of this soon to be getting new paint 72 MC.

 

Did the non-Custom models get the B85 Belt Reveal Molding?

 

Thanks,

 

Doug

There is a well known Upholstery Shop in Canby, Oregon that seems to have sold cloth material for our era cars.  Someone will likely chime in the name unless I can remember it first.  

The Reveal Belt Molding was an option on any 1972 Monte Carlo and were standard as you noted only on the Customs.

My Black Cloth for my '72 was brought fro CARS inc. This stuff is on the expensive side . I bought mine in '07 and was $95.00 a yard. I had replaced the bucket seat back and the rear seat top piece. that was $285.00 for material. You could also try Ausley's in North Carolina.

At the time I redid my interior CarsInc were the only ones with the cloth option. I was very pleased with the quality and fit of them.

About double the cost of vinyl but It was in my car originally and I did like it.

I believe Legendary makes them now also, and Ive always heard good things about thier stuff

SMS auto fabrics in Canby, OR has many original fabric patterns. You could try them to find the fabric/ cloth that you need. You can buy a set of vinyl seat covers and have an upholstery shop install the correct cloth if someone like SMS has it available.
