The seats are fairly easy (obvious). Just turn them upside down or remove the rear cover on the buckets.

 I'm trying to post a photo but not sure it's gonna work...

The door panels do not have the 2 piece construction with vinyl on the top... on original std door panels there is an open seam which goes through the center of the trim where the remote mirror control is located

Thanks again! I now know how to tell the difference! I knew my 68 panels were original. Here’s ash gold.

Thats a great combo - white top and int is subtle with the bnut yellow.
I found a 26k mile white on white RS SS conv a few years ago, I like the butternut white combo better.

Thanks. It’s the reason I bought the car. It’s probably one of the “prettiest” Camaro’s I’ve ever seen. What’s funny is, when I take it to cars and coffee, there’s more women that comment on it then men. It was originally purchased by a women and I was lucky enough to purchase it. Here’s the window sticker.
