The black interior is rare, but I don't believe it will add any value.
Infact in some ways it would detract from the value. Say you have a black
interior and are missing the middle seat, or have a bad panel....
Good luck explaining the merits of the black interior to someone who's
going to have to find that rare missing piece.

I have a full black interior in a bus sitting in a field if you (or anyone)
needs anything.
It is a very rare, '85/'86 silver (and i'm told but have never seen, Gold)
only option.
