The Diplomat
New Member
Hello everyone,
I have a dilemma and thought this would be the best place for advice! I have a 1979 Dodge Diplomat 2-dr in not so beautiful Teal on Teal. It's rather disgusting looking in my opinion. I have the entire interior out of the car as I need to replace the headliner (which is not available in teal), the carpet and the heater core (the leaking heater core caused the passenger side carpet to rot out, floor is safe!).
I don't like the teal and would prefer to change the color. The other issue is that I am very likely to sell the car when it is completed as I would prefer a 4 door (don't hear that often!). I thought changing it to the darkish blue interior would look good and I would choose that color personally but as I said I will most likely be selling the car. Another good candidate color would be black as most people seem to like black interiors and it would match very well with the teal exterior.
The interior is in great shape as the car only has 167,000 km on it or roughly 100K miles. I could just leave it teal if I could find the headliner material in teal, not having much luck on that. The carpet is available so no issues there.
I have asked this question on another forum in the form of a "poll" question (not sure if I can mention the other form, but it sounds similar to mopar, but not All will get it, hint hint).
So, my question to everyone is, what color should I change the interior to; Blue, Black or just leave it original and teal?
Thanks everyone
