I'm looking at a pace car on eBay that has a trunk lined in red.  Is this the correct factory liner, or should it be the typical black?
Thanks,

I have only seen the typical black trunks but I am no expert.

Wow there is about a million pictures there but only about 4 of them that are close enough to see any detail.  I hate it when they do that.  Makes me suspicious. 

Things I noticed that you may or may not have seen or may or may not be concentrated with:

Dash appears to have been recovered. 

The impact strips on the rear bumper (and like front too) are showing their typical characteristics at this age where they get a little warpy and the white sort of melts out. 

Exhaust is not stock.  It looks stock to the muffler.  From there back it looks like possibly a 80's chev truck muffler that had a dual outlet and then custom pipes from there.

I' m not crazy about those recovered interior door armrests either.    I'd rather have seen the originals repaired and redyed.   Same for the dash.

Otherwise it is a good twenty footer.  The seats look good, but I'd make sure they were leather not vinyl.  There are some vinyl seat kits out there now.

Trunk liner should be black/dark Gray.     Matches Boot bag for parade boots,    Tim Pawl CLC #4383
