Guest Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Do you have the build sheet on the car? If so you can get the code off it and call your local Chevrolet dealership and they can tell you. From the picture it looks like a sandlewood and light saddle, but your build sheet will tell you. I hope this helps.

Guest Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 grease that is an opional steering wheel (coushion grip) that was avalible. but i think the horn button was actually the bow tie if i am not mistaken. they are ou thre in repro and several originals on e-bay from time to time.

Mr70Monte Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 But the cushion grip wheel was only available on the '70 Montes, 71-72 had the 4 spoke sport wheel. The center on the wheel above is from a Vette, maybe the wheel also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hall Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 My 70 ss has that same wheel but the horn button is the same color as the spokes (brushed alum.or stainless) then in the center it has black paint with a brushed alum small chevy symbol attached to it and then around the chevy symbol there is a ring around it devided into 3 section one is red one white and one is blue.This wheel looks very cool.

Ian Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Wow, I thought I was looking at the int of my monte. I have not been able to figure out excatly what colors it is either. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex's72fgmc Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 on the interior color there "should" be some info on the body tag about what color the interior originaly was and you can figure out on what the colors are according to that. or if you haven't got the build sheet or info on the body tag you could get the restoration package from cheverolet 1-800-222-1020 you will need the vin number for your car "lower drivers side windshield vin" they will send you a package on your car so that should contain what color the interior is. hope the helps out. ------------------ hmmmm the sound of wrenches turning and a air impact gun going... slowly out from the garage emerges a luxury muscle car that is anything but... it is.. the monte carlo with a new edelbrock performer rpm power package and new 350 block stroked.

Grease Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 doesn't make much sense to me but the interior of my 70 is probly 4 different shades of Saddle / browns. i cant figure it out mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 It's not ivory gold it looked like it was going to be med saddle but i had an extra door panel that has been off the car for almost 8yrs and you can see the difference in the fad so it make me wonder how much she faded since 71 now Im leaning toward saddle, but I have seen about three shades of saddle!! so go with med saddal or saddle and dye the carpet on the door. As for the dash pad and the whole dash who knows! thanks for the help!

Guest Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 That looks an awful lot like my interior also.As with some of you it looks like I have three or four different colors inside. I just decoded my trim tag (tr 679) and it is called a light saddle, and yes that wheel does look great!! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 light saddle for the carpet and dash? any clue about the dash pad it needs to be touched up, its darker than the dash also my pillars are that dash pad color. thanks I will look in to the light saddle carpet and dash paint.

Possibly the interior code relates to door panels seat skins and headliner, I mean how can they have one code for 4 different shades of brown????

Guest Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 It is Sandalwood. If you order a SW carpet from anybody you will be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
