Hey Paul, & welcome to the Forums! Looks like you’ve done a great job on the Barth, did you build the Teardrop yourself?
I'm with you on the 70's plastic. Not afraid of it, just don't personally like it.
My ’85 Sovereign has some plastic-like wood-grained partition covering, but it is quite attractive sheeting when compared to most plastic coverings. The great thing about the ’85 is all the
Real Wood on the inside. (see in my Photo Gallery).
Now the ’65 Safari I have was sought out specifically for the interior (International interior upgrade). The wood is a beautiful dark walnut and the balance is a combination of vinyl clad & Zolotone. Of course, it took quite a while to find one that was all-original, and had as close-to-perfect skin for a total refurbishment program.
Good luck in your searches and decisions. Can I assume you have been
HERE to look at the different models and years? ... Don't settle for 2nd choice!
