83 GSL interior pic request

i'm looking for a pic of the interior of an 83 GSL in maroon without leather. i'm trying to compare seats and get an overall picture of the different types of seats used. i had an 83 GSL in maroon with leather and i was wondering the difference without.

you sure could. i have one but i'm not sure if the seats are correct. my 83 parts car was a GSL and it had leather. the car is in boxes now but i think the seats that are in the GSL in storage are from an 84-85, thats why i was asking for the pic request. i just want to make sure the car is as correct as possible. i'm going to use it when i'm not in my LS or 10AE in the summer for a runabout.

Leather seats and door panels was an option on both the GSL and the SEs. Oddly, I have yet to see the leather option in gray on an S3.

They made a grey leather interior? I have never seen that. My thought was they did it in maroon or black.

The original seat covering on my 83 GSL was cloth. The sides and back were solid. The inner back and seat bottom was like some checked looking pattern. I never took any pics before I recovered them in leather, but I think that was how they were. Don't know if that helps.
