interior codes

Looking at a 68 Shelby FB  on BaT. a "6A" interior. My old car had a "5A" interior. Is the difference air conditioning as the seats look the same in both cars? Thanks

5A is comfortweave, 6A is smooth vinyl

5A is comfortweave, 6A is smooth vinyl

Thanks. Is there a noticeable difference when viewing in pics? I was not aware that 68 Shelby FBs had 2 different seat options. Do you have pics of both? Thanks. Gary

The smooth vinyl/6A is on the left, the comfortweave/5A is on the right.

There was no saddle comfortweave and comfortweave wasn't used on convertibles, because it is actually a woven material and you would get wet buns.

I don't think it was an "option". Earlier cars tend to have the 6A, Later cars tend to have the comfortweave

My 68 GT 500 has a code of 6F and has saddle and I think it's comfort weave.

6F is the standard "kiwi" vinyl pattern.  The factory did not supply saddle, comfortweave to Shelbys to the best of my knowledge.
