No paint sticker in the car so I don't know. He only painted the outside but it looks to be original color as the jambs and other non repainted areas are a close match.

What came first and last depends on how many were made. For some more details see:

This doesn't look like anything factory made.

I've seen this is black with white dots on a '79. Appeared very stock looking. Not very common as that is the only other time I've seen it.

The back seats look stock. The bottoms look to be in VERY nice shape. The upper backs look good except for the top is cracked. The cloth parts are nice. Not sure I can find that material to redo the fronts though...I will look.

Pulled the Pascha seats out of storage to see how they would look. WOW...the tan and black looks like it was made for this color. I could replace the brown sides and back with black...then recover the rear seats and door inserts...thoughts?? Weren't the early cars available with the 911 seats as a low cost option??

Dean,
That brown/black pasha is NLA. FWIW.

I like your creative thinking, however!

Those seats are awesome. If it were mine.....I would consider using them with the black vinyl as you described and then doing the back in solid black vinyl.

I think Doug has a set of rears in black for sale. I can pick them up for you when I get the roller over Christmas.....if that is not toooo unorthodox.

Let me know

And some more. The front seats are trashed...but they are light weight and manual. He will need to recover at some point.

Great find Dean. Those brown pascha seats will look great and would match perfectly in that 78. For a comparison's sake, here are the black sided seat's that will going in Just Peachy. Is that paint Tobacco Metallic (Tabac 464) ? T
