Nice car. That color of blue for the interiors (French racing blue?) doesn't look any better to me than it did when it was new. Probably a lower-installation rate interior color, which might make it more rare now?

I liked the reds, golds, and greens better, for the record.

Just some thoughts,

"Just spent $2500.00 on new tires, a/c, tune up...etc."

To make this a solid $2500 car...

Sorry guys, I think this car has a lot going for it... but the colors don't do much for me. This is the pic that excites me the most...

She's been stored nicely... look at the wheel and dash. I just have a hard time believing these cars are selling that strong, to anyone but poorly informed speculators, while Stan's never got a good nibble.
 
Two ways to consider the ultimate value. One is "What will that kind of money get you in a newer vehicle?" The other is what the price guides indicate.

In the era that car was produced, "leather" was everywhere in luxury automobile brands, BUT the velour in these same cars was a very substantial product, too. In these specific Chryslers, it was a very thick fabric, by observation. In warmer climates, it was always cool, too.

Back then, I was more interested in Cordobas (where leather buckets were a very popular option). In a conversation with the local Chrysler salesman (a friend), I asked him about in the summer. His reply was when you first sat down in the sear, "You'll know where your underwear is for less time with leather than with vinyl." More like "a minute" than "minutes".

The OTHER thing is that the fabric will be less expensive to fix/replace later on. The cost of the materials combined with related labor for the "loose pillow look" configuration of the leather.

Still, that "blue" interior . . .

The other thing is just who was paid the money for the repairs and if they knew what they were doing? It's always an orientation to do repairs so the vehicle will be trouble free for the new owner, BUT that doesn't always mean they were done competently. On the other hand, we've known of people who pulled cars out of garages, sold them, and then the new owners struck out cross-nation to take them home, with generally good results.

Just imagining how comfortable that velour is. I like how it is not tufted. And I love the color and I bet I would like it more and more, just like I got used to the green in the Fury. For me the blue is good....red does not appeal to me at all...to each his own.
 
Leather is nice as long as it's been taken care of. Leather can deteriorate fast if neglected and sitting out in the sun.
 
lovely car, the blue interior prob wouldnt have been my choice when it was new but i do like it now.
the ribbed crushed velour was a 1 year only option available in 77.
i don't care for the 1979-on wire wheel caps that are on it.
and its not a "MAGNUM ENGINE" unless someone put one in.......
but having said that, i'd be very happy to drive it.

I like the blue but I'm biased, just not in that sweaty velour. I think that the ribbed velour was the standard interior not an option? The tufted velour or leather was the option. Could be wrong, but I know it would be last on my list of choices.

Nice looking car all in all though. It would make anyone proud to drive it... we're just nit picking because it's not in any of our driveways. :rofl:
 
In some respects, the "velour" in those cars was more like a very thick "wide wale" corduroy fabric. Rather than the smoother and thinner velour used in GM cars of that time. Wouldn't have been my first choice in ordering one back then, as leather was "THE" seat material of the time, but it was a nice interior the way it is.
 
I hated it when Chrysler went to that light blue color instead of the dark blue that had been used in earlier models. It's a nice care but realistically, about $4500+-!
 
@commando1 has had that interior... I recall he said it was very comfortable. All things considered, it seems to age better than leather, but I don't think any of the fabric beats the "mouse fur" (thanks @70bigblockdodge ) velour...

I still have a love for the leather, just observing the durability of the fabrics used.

Kenny, ribbed and crushed velour were on the same seats according to Hamtramck Historical:

Yeah, but they were the standard seats... that was my point. The option was the tufted leather. Didn't know there was no tufted velour option...

Thanks
