The interior of your car gets a lot of attention because you and your passengers can sit there
and look around while your driving and spot all the screwed up spots.
Over time, the various portions of your interior will deteriorate for many reasons.
* General wear and tear
* Sunfading...
Due to the vast amounts of components that make up the interior of your Camaro, these sections are broken down into subsections. Interior subsections: [ Headliner & Trim | Trunk Parts | Steering Column | Pedal Assemblies Replacing heater core | Painting Interior Trim ] |
How to determine what interior trim your car originally came with.
 Cowl Tag example (1971 Z28 shown) |
|
The trick to decoding your interior is on the cowl tag. This tag is located on your cowl (firewall), behind the brake booster. Using the above example, you'll see a number (775) next to the "TR" label, which stands for TRIM. 775 is the interior trim code. You can also tell this is a 1971 Camaro (ST 71). So knowing this, you can go to the 1971 Camaro information and see that code 775 stands for standard black vinyl interior.
Use the above drop down box to jump to your year Camaro and determine your trim code, see a fabric color sample and obtain other information pertaining to your interior.

Where to get parts?
Hopefully you'll be able to re-use most of the parts that came with your car, but some items
will be broken or need to be replaced.
There are a variety of catalog vendors of restoration parts including: Classic Industires, Year One, NPD, etc. You can also use the club swapmeet to find these parts.
Resources - The Fisher Body manual for your year car is invaluable in getting specifics on working with the various parts of your interior. The point of this article is to elaborate on my personal experience & opinions above and beyond what the body manual states. Sometimes "things don't work according to plan".
Parts include - splater spray, spare tire stuff....
