Vette(s): 1982 collectors

I'm ordering interior parts from Wilcox and ran into a question.  I need to know the correct color of the shift boot for a 1982 collectors.   I was told it is either charcoal or silver beige.  Wilcox said it would be in the "Judging Book".  Please help!!  My order is on hold.....  

thanks,  mike

Mike,

I have seen others paint different colors on them.   All though should be black in color.  Mines black.

Hey, Iron....you sure yours is not charcoal? That would be almost black. I think it should be charcoal or black...definitely not silver-beige.
Mike, if you are planning on having the car "judged"(NCRS-Bloomington), I would go with the black/charc. If not, just get what you think would look best for you.

I'm looking to make it a nice driver, but as close to original as I can. I'm not really into having it judged.   Tommy at Wilcox said it wasn't black but charcoal, so that's what I'll go with.    thanks for the help guys!

Wilcox also said the correct color would  be listed in the "Judging" book.
