1969 Chevy Camaro Interior
June 4, 2008
Depending on the 1969 Chevy Camaro interior that the original owner chose there can be several differences in the color. Most of the interior is going to be the same as far as the gauges, pedals, steering wheel, and other amenities of the car. In the older cars the interior is going to be made of leather. The 1969 Chevy Camaro interior is no different.
The 1969 Chevy Camaro interior is mostly seen as black. While there are some variations such as red, tan, or even blue the black was by far the most popular. The seats are black leather and so is the dash; however you can see a slight change in the carpet. Some of the 1969 Camaro’s had a grey carpet over the black. Underneath the carpet the floors are generally the same color as the outside paint. This helps anyone recognize whether they’ve found an authentic 1969 model.
The dash was smaller than some of those we have today. In fact all the gauges were kept between the steering wheel for optimal sight while driving. Even the heating controls will be found nearer to the steering wheel. The heating controls were slide bars that move up and down to control the temperature.
The dash boards were leather on the top and near the heating vents. The leather usually leaves off as the glove compartment starts. This compartment is rather large, even with the slope downwards to accommodate the passenger’s legs.
The gear shift is usually a short affair. The pedals of the 1969 Chevy Camaro interior are racing in style. In other words they have the holds for grip rather than the pads seen today in Camaros. The pedals are silver and completely metal.
Some Camaros have back seats as well that are made from leather with the grey carpeting. If restoring a Camaro it is important to find authentic carpet and seats to replace the older versions with.
