C2 Color Combinations

[Bill C.]

Since the interior & exterior combination of Maroon/Maroon was only offered in 1965 would someone have any idea how many of this combination were produced ? I can't find any figures on production of interior or exterior colors for this year (1965). Thanks to all who respond.

Re: C2 Color Combinations

The only factory records that exist document exterior color (2831 Maroon) production and NOT interior trim, Bill. Like most of the 'combo' questions (how many with this + that + this other option), there simply is no production data to support precision answers....

I can tell you, my experience says this color combo is reasonably rare. I've only seen ONE car with it (a locally owned '65, 365 HP, convertible). And, that car is interesting because there are places where the factory substituted red interior components for maroon (e.g. the plastic seat backs).

If memory serves, it was built in mid-December. This suggests there were factory shortages of some maroon interior components that did NOT stop the flow of production as 'close' colored components were substituted on the line....
