Highlander conundrum

I recently acquired a LWB '72 Custom Deluxe with the Highlander package and 350/350 combo. It was originally an all white truck based on the SPID, with the Avocado package. I bought it to fix up and sell (this is NOT a for sale post)....though I'm getting kind of attached to it.

The previous owner won it in a drawing, evidently after a repaint. It was a Texas truck based on the dealer emblem still there, so likely its been here all its life. It had been repainted red/white with red interior. Being a Highlander it has white seat, white door panels, and white visors with black dash pad, black steering wheel/column, and black carpet. The original seat cover is still there, tho its in bad shape on the drivers side. The white door panels are there, also dried out and the white armrests look like repainted black ones.




I want to freshen up the interior. My thought..............to replace the seat, door panels, and visors with black ones. Or....should I get all white replacements and just skip the "plaid" inserts on the seat? This truck is very original (even has its AM radio) without much changed but the color and the wheels instead of hub caps. I don't think I feel too bad about changing the interior to black.......or should I?






So......................since it will be for sale.....should I go with black interior bits or keep it white?
