1983 Pontiac Firebird S/E - Original Interior

The  Interior is a combination of brown and black. The T-Top is a brown with brown sun visors. The visors feel like whatever cardboard is inside of it is in bad shape. Like when cardboard has gotten wet and dried again, then baked in the sun. The review mirror doesn't want to stay put, and the glass is either cracked or scratched. No matter as KITT does not have a review mirror. There is a thin piece of wood with black fabric stapled on to it, with foam and tinfoil shading the glass of the T-Top. The previous owner used caulking to attempt to seal the leak around the T-Top, but since they didn't seem to know where it was coming from, the caulked all over, but still managed to miss the leak.

The dash is cracked in several places. The gas gauge was jumping all over the place on the drive home. I assumed that that when it flicked to the left, it was it's actual gas, then it would flick to the right as if it was full. I tried keeping my eye on the gauges during my first drive, but the steering wheel sure did block my view of the dash really well. It certainly wasn't designed very well. The steering wheel may have a bearing loose inside as it just rocks up and down. Plus there is a lot of play in it.

The back seats need to be reupholstered. They have been sun damaged and torn at the head. The rear seems to be in good clean shape. One or two of the plastic screws will need to be replaced as the have broken. All the lights work. The hatch lock in the back had its face cover broken. But that's no bigy as I wont use it again once I get the blackout installed. Spare tire was intact along with the black jack.
 There was a leather steering wheel cover that was all sticky with something so I took it off.
