I'm guessing the buyer wanted tan seats, and the dealership had tan skins installed. Its not "factory" its a dealership installed item. Happens all the time, the dealership installed my gray leather too.

i like the interior! and im not even a fan of tan/camel/taupe. Looks good, I love your stainless products (i get millions compliments on my WS9 emblem) but I just don't like it with SOM! Black would much better suite it, but it looks great none the less!

The only thing I would recommend is going with 18's all around instead of 17's and 18's especially on a show car. The front tires will have a taller sidewall than the rears if you go with 17's and 18's which is backwards to me.

Looks absolutely amazing. I love the interior as well. I saw a WS6 about 3 years ago with the beige interior and at the time I had no idea how rare it was. I think yours is probably dealer-installed, but very nice nonetheless.

That interior isn't factory installed leather, its aftermarket (dealership) installed leather. I had the same setup done back in '98 but the opposite way. Mine started as tan but I had the dealer install gray leather seats and door panel inserts.

I also agree, SOM camaros do take more work.

You guys are all wrong! I am the person who sold him the car and that is factory camel leather interior! If you look at the '01 T/A brochure it shows camel as one of the interior colors ( as well as ebony and taupe). If you look at the '02 brochure it goes on to mention camel interior with ebony accents. It's the only 2 tone interior available. Do your homework and check it out.
