Correct Map Pocket and Door Pull Color, for tan, brown, cinnamon, etc interiors Options

[poorsche914]

In an attempt to restore my Creamsicle's interior to original, I have a question concerning the color for the lower sections of the map pocket and door pull in cars with an interior color other than black.

I searched through members rides photos (well, 60 pages of it) and of the photos of cars with non-black interior AND showing the door panels I found it was pretty much 50/50. Not knowing if the photos depicted an original interior or a swapped interior, there is really no way for me to know what is the correct combination.

Does anyone know what years used all black and what years used the two-tone units?
More specifically, does anyone know what my LE should have? The correct interior is "tan" (cinnamon? camel?)

Thanks,
steve

Steve,
Did you review the photos in the "Nailed" original/refurbished interior thread near the top of this O&H Forum? Page 3 has several photos that may be of help to you.

Paul,

Yes, I went thru around 60 pages of that thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
The photos of Blackstain's LE with cinnamon interior shows what I need.

Of the ones I could actually see the doors, 7 had black and 6 had tan. These were varying years from '72 to '76. No idea to know if they were original or not.

I did contact Johnny Blackstain and he said '73 had the two color style and in '74 they went back to all black. So unless I hear something different, that is what I am going with.
