I know where an Expresso Brown Judge sits that has that interior. No one has bought it, two guys have stated if it had parchment or black gits they'd have pulled the trigger. Not trying to offend anyone, just stating facts as i see them. Walt Hollifeld's brown 69 has that interior and looks great to me! The Midnight Green exterior teamed with a black vinyl top is not rare, have seen many over the years. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
Thanks, and I was not thinking in terms of how it effected value. No offense taken on the gold interior, because my opinion is if we all liked the same thing it would be a dull world. I owned a `69 Firebird 400, Antique gold, gold interior, black vinyl top, and absolutely loved the combination, and I really like that combo with the `69 GTO.

My friend is interested in the `one owner `68 GTO with the 360 hp engine, but is very slow to take action, so I am going to give him more time. He has not seen the car yet. If he decides not to buy I will let everyone know contact info
