I personally miss colored interiors. Red, blue, etc. My GMT400 was blue with a blue interior, was 5/7.

Wow
One year color, and the only way to get that color interior.

Mine is the more common red interior that you could get with silver, black, or one shade of red:

There was also a bloo that only came with a specific bloo, but available all three years:

The rest got bleck with different colored gauges.

You could also get cosmo purple cloth down under. A cosmo purple holden crewman with the ls2 and manual, with cosmo purple interior is the ultimate australian vehicle for me.
