I must be weird because I love the two tone saddle interior. Then again my cuda had the deluxe saddle interior.

My Coronet is NOT stock, but has a lot of white interior in her. White is a pain in the a** for a car that gets used and black is just, well, black and played to death. Not my first white interior and I've had way to many black interiors. I think it's a nice change. Blue jeans will bleed or rub off on white leather interiors, fact.

When our cars were new, white interiors looked great in the showroom, not so much in daily use. The original owner of my GTX steered customers away from them, never ordered them on dealer inventory cars, with one exception. He ordered an FC7 Duster 340 with white bucket seat interior and console for the spring 1970 new car show. Much like the Moulin Rouge AAR 'Cuda that accompanied it, would be worth a premium if still around today.

One of the roughest looking B bodies I remember from back then was a '68 Coronet R/T I parked next to in 1971. It had about 50,000 miles showing on the odometer, and the white interior was the nastiest looking I'd ever seen on a late model Mopar.

Weird to see power seat adjuster on the dash. I can't really identify the dash. Has Idiot Light, but no gauge for charging system, so not Mopar. Has rotating drum/ribbon speedometer like '60 Dodge or Buick, but heater control screams Rambler, maybe Ambassador, because of optional power seat?

Some cars are valued for different reasons. One of one can be for things I would never want. Would we be saying the same thing if it was one of one, if it was that color and the only one built with a hemi.

There was a '69 Hemi Road Runner that made the rounds of the auction circuit, and the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals about 20 years ago. T5, medium bronze with a white interior. I saw it in person, and would have bought it in an instant if I'd had the funds at the time. It finally sold for 25% under the original asking price. Two of the '69 GTXs in my town were T7 Saddle Bronze (brown) with buckskin interiors. I guess my tastes got shaped by what was around when they were new, because I always liked that combination, even though the market doesn't.

When I bought the Demonstrator, I used the buckskin interior to help soften the price, even though it is actually my favorite in a red GTX. I told the seller he was priced too aggressively for an interior that wasn't white or pewter.
