We have a few good resources here on the website with interior information:



I see a listing for an M5 interior code and a C5 interior code, but no MC5.  

M5 is white knitted vinyl bucket seats with green components.

C5 is white vinyl with green components. 

Is you car a late build for 1972?  Do you have the Marti?

I am wondering if your car came with smooth vinyl bucket seats, like the '73s.  There have been a couple of late '72s that have the buckets without the comfortweave, which would explain the weird interior code for your car as it would be kind of a combination of C5 and M5.  When you get the Marti, it might help us figure it out.
Do you have a pic of the interior as it is now?  I am not 100% sure on the mixture, but based on the code and how the black and white interior is done, I'd say it probably had white seats and green carpet.  The black and white interior had white seats, white door panels, black carpet, dash, and console.  I'd assume the green would be the same.

I'm not sure how to upload pictures but I have a question about my recent project's interior.  It is a 73 GT 2 door fastback.  The seats are high back with vinyl and "cloth".  The cloth is more like blue fuzzy stuff.  Is this factory or custom seats?  The trim code is "ZB".  color code is 9A (white).  It came with the laser stripe and had a vinyl roof (now removed).

The fuzz is faded and I'm not sure how to restore to original light blue color.  The vinyl is a dark blue.

You need to get membership approval to upload.  I have upgraded you so you can upload photos now.
You could get a Gran Torino Sport with the bench that had sport cloth and vinyl combo.  Although your code isn't correct for that. Here are the codes below.

Are the seat backs a hard shell or just upholstery/Vinyl? 72 had hard backs and comfortweave, 73 should be vinyl and soft backs.
