72projectbird, that's a bummer. My dash was sprayed black years ago. It looks terrible now, peeling in places, and worse in others.

I was planning on having it re-done by someone like Just Dashes and counting on them to get the color right.

My Console was missing entirely so I bought a used one that I believe came from a '73 Dark Saddle interior (I trusted the Seller but most of the the high priced parts I bought were not much better than junk, the Console was rougher than the one I saw in pix he posted, so in the end, I'd never buy from that outfit again).

But if it is a correct '73 and if the Console color is supposed to match the Dash color, I'd agree the M35 looks way more like a later Tan color than '73 Dark Saddle.

I'd judge the color of my Console to be the same color as the one I see in the pic cnc posted earlier.

Gotta be a solution, I've seen plenty of nicely restored '73 and '75 'birds with the Dark Saddle interior, including some high dollar SD TAs that looked to be pretty correct looking to my eye.
Yep that looks very close to mine....here a couple better pics
So this is considered Dark Saddle then...lol
