I have a 72 SWB that rides that fine line between street rod and "all original".
It has a 383, 20" Coys, CD/MP3 player, billit steering wheel, billit dash with AutoMeter guages and lowered 4/6 but other than that everything is stock.

I have been beating myself up over my interior options the last few weeks and here is my debate:
Should I run newer style buckets with a custom fiberglass console or keep the interior stock?
Here is what I have come up with.
Keep the stock bench (black/houndstooth) but have it recovered in a black leather/suede with heavy silver stictching and coverig the doors with the same material. If I do that I have thought about doing a power window/locks combo.

Will going all out on a custom interior ($3K) do you think this way hurt the resale value down the road.
