Who has original red leather interior?
I read somewhere a long time ago about the red leather -- that GM had a problem with the color dye used back in 87/88. It was produced in 1987, but only a handful were made in 1988 before it was put on hold. I'm not sure when the problem was resolved and it came back. I know it was used in 1992. I wonder if red leather was available in 89, 90, or 91... Does anyone have this?

The Camaro White Book lists Red leather as being available in 87, 89-92. 88 is the only year that has no interior code for red leather.

Willie...I told you ive seen it in original 92's...
That's why I said in my original statement, "I know it was used in 1992." I gave you credit for telling me....

hehe I know I was just givin ya a hard time. Im pretty sure that car I was talking about was a 1 of 1 or 2 produced due to the options and the rarity of leather (esp red) in 92, but the thought to sell it had never crossed their mind thats for sure...Id def like to have it tho!

I have a Red leather interior on my 91 RS. It's in great condition, except for a little rip on the drivers side seat. How can I check to see if it was origional?

My car has the red leather interior.....it was one of the reasons that I bought it. The gray cloth really turns me off.
The top of my back seats (split) are cracking, which is the downside to leather as i have not been able to find anyone or anyplace that sells the seat covers to replace them.
No power seats either. I used the RPO decoder.....very sweet!

I've got red leather 1987 Seats that are original. Cloth back, power. The headrest on them have SHRUNK and look ugly. The leather didn't seem well cared for. But it lasted long and good and I seem to be bringing it back to decent shape.

Probably 722, that is what it was in 87. The camaro white book states that few if any 88's were built with red leather, so it is possible.
