If I'm not mistaken the seats are the same from 78 through 88 Cutlass Classic. I know a lot of the dash and console parts are the same so that should open up your search window.

That is a pretty nice Cutlass. It will clean up great! Good luck finding parts for it. You might check out the following websites.

You're going to need some serious luck finding a black console. 1980 was the last year for a black interior option. I have seen them recently on that auction site. Best of luck with it And yes, seats are the same 78-88.

thanks Jim. but black is not that important,i can always die it. and if the seats will work than so will the console,from a newer model monte ss or,regal or a cutty.
i've pretty much given up on finding the colors i need and will prolly go to black and grey int.
thanks again.
