Mark and Rex:

Sorry to leave out the interior color of my '69 car.  It's Matador Red (or, 
at least it's RED!).  Thanks for your replies.  I'll conduct a little more 
research before I commit to changing the color of the newly purchased unit.

Regards,

Walt Fogle
'69 TR6, CC30689L
Woodinville, WA 98072
