These numbers should not be combined with the exterior color percentages because color combinations were not a uniform distribution. Certain interior colors, such as red, would only be used with a limited number of exterior colors. Color combinations such as a green exterior and a red interior probably (hopefully) never occurred.

There were three white deluxe interiors available in 1968. The deluxe 730 Parchment interior was available from the start of the 1968 MY until mid-May 68. As shown in the vinyl samples to the right, the 730 Parchment vinyl was a brighter white. The vinyl seats, the door panels, *and* the trim around the headliner was white - the rest of the interior was black.
The deluxe 711 Ivory and 716 Ivory houndstooth interiors were mid-year replacements with availability in early March 68 through the end of 68 production. The Ivory was more pearl-colored with white vinyl seats and door panels and all the remaining interior trim was black, including the headliner trim.
On 1967 models, all convertibles, all hardtops with a fold-down rear seat, and all hardtops with the custom/deluxe interior got rear armrests - the rest did not.
On 1968 and 1969 models, all convertibles had rear armrests and all hardtops with a fold-down rear seat had rear armrests.
During the 1969 production year, the Z28 used three tachometers.
In chronological production order:
There were two interior trim options that overlapped each other.
RPO Z23, the Special Interior, added some interior accents. In 1967, it could be ordered separately or combined with Z87 to create further "luxury". The 3S code would appear on the trim tag in 67. In 1968 and 1969, the features of Z23 were included with Z87.
RPO Z87, the Deluxe Interior (a.k.a. Custom Interior), changed the upholstery type and included molded door panels, as well other adding other interior component upgrades. Houndstooth fabric seat trim was also available under RPO Z87 in 68 and 69.
Both interior options included different and often overlapping features that varied by year, and are summarized in the tables below. The dash woodgrain usage is detailed in the next section below.

The woodgrain trim on the instrument cluster is by the wiper switch and the radio controls. The woodgrain for the steering wheel shroud is only applicable to the standard 2-spoke wheel. The optional woodgrain wheel did not have a shroud. The woodgrain on the passenger side dash includes the ashtray door and the glovebox door and only was included if deluxe interior (Z87) was ordered.
