    When I look at other peoples cars on here the dashboard matches the outside of the car but my car (74) is red on black and I have a black dashboard. Did it depend on color choice or is this just one of those Ford's better ideas. Hey man lets make the black interior all black woohooo, now thats pretty:rofl:

    I would say very few people's dashes match the outside of their car. If it does...it is a custom paint job or coincidence.

    Mine matches. It was the same ugly greenish-yellow that the exterior was. Both the metal and dashpad were color matched.

    I thought they all were that way...:huh:

    ......but.........your interior also somewhat matches the outside of the car.....hence the "match".

    I swear mine is black as coal, I love it, im just curious. The dash pad and the face and lower pieces are so black they match the a/c vents.My mom's new taurus has dark charcoal and I can tell its not black this is very dark. like I said, Just wonderin. Whenever cannon sends my cam back I will take some pics. maybe someone has done a cheap resto along the way.?.:huh:
