I was thinking about white for my interior with a FC7 exterior. Yay or Nay? :D

Inviolet/Plum Crazy and white interior go well together. I prefer it over black. It's a bit pimp looking though.

I like it with the M5X9 black/white check better, but it wasn't a '72 option if you're a purist... and if you're considering FC7 on a '72, you're obviously not. :D Prepare to spend a BIG price premium though.

I had a 70 Challenger that was Stautory Grape with a white interior, and it looked sharp. No "Dolemite" action though.

White interiors look great, but they're a pain to keep clean....especially the perforated headliners

I'd always be worried about it getting dirty. I had two black cars...never again. Black and white both look great clean but get one spot on it and :rant:

I say yay. White looks great unless it's a daily driver. Then I might rethink it. Here's some pics of a restore I've been doing for someone with a white interior.

You know I didn't even think about houndstooth. My Demon has a houndstooth interior.

Anyone have any pics of a 71-72 with houndstooth?

Yay!
I LOVE white interior cars!
Wish my black interior was white!

White interior on a Plum Crazy car is as cool as it gets!

It's not houndstooth. It's a black/white check. It got cropped off the picture I posted from Hamtramck Historical.

Here's a link to it:
