Reminds me of a couch my mom had in the 70's, green and yellow vinyl.....hideous

I myself don't care for the green interior with any color.

I do prefer coupes to convertibles too. Guess i'm in the lower percentage on that.

I am glad we all have different tastes, or we'd all be driving the same car, same color, with the same clothes on..... you get the picture....

Green exterior and interiors were very popular on the GM pickups during that time period.

There's a factory http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JUNE-2013-FOUR-WHEELER-MAGAZINE-COVER-TRUCK-COOLEST-72-GMC-SUBURBAN-4X4-/310678401939?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4855e03393#ht_1494wt_1064 on eBay right now.

My favorite unusual comination is Ontario Orange with 1971 green interior. There are a few of them listed on the C3 registry.

Yes, that was a rather bold statement. At no point when I was looking for my Corvette did I even consider buying a convertible - I just don't like the looks of them. The only way I would have considered buying a C3 convertible is if it were about 1/3 the price of a comparable t-top.

Some time back I was watching some car show on TV and they featured a 68 GTO gold with a green interior. I don't like green, but I didn't think the combination looked out of place.

Another coupe fan. I wouldn`t have bought a `vert, no matter the price. To each his own, but I LOVE the T-tops!

Amen brother. I have never owned a convertible and never will. Here is a picture of my first car:

Coupe for me, too.
Like oldgto, SCG with black interior. Though I think SCG with green interior would be amazing. It would have to be the 1970 green. 71-2 green interior is a strange shade to me.

If the day ever comes to repaint, I'll be going SCG with my green 49C houndstooth green.

I like the British Racing green for an exterior.
I'd love the tabacco leather interior inside a coupe w/ it
The mossport green in 66 was good lookin but very limited exteriors looked right with that color.
My 68 is yellow w/ blk guts.

I`m sure the green interior would bring out that greenish tint in the SCG!

Since this has already gotten way off topic I guess I'll throw my $0.02 in. I am not much of a convertible guy, and when it comes to sports cars I'd pick the coupe over the convertible in 99/100 situations but I used to own a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado and I don't think that car would look good as a coupe, here's a pic for reference:
