I bought the car and as far as I can tell it is the original color. The PO did re-dye it in areas where there was damage, but not all of it. It doesn't look as bright blue in person as some of the pictures on the samba. The picture below better represents how it looks. Unfortunately a lot of it is pretty rough and I will probably replace it as I go through the car. I think I am leaning towards keeping it original, but since it appears to be a non-standard color I'm wondering if I could get new seat covers in that color? If anyone knows of a place I could get them let me know. I guess my other option would be to buy some new light colored ones and dye them? Might do the dash, rear shelf and door tops in black and leave the side panels, seats and center console blue to tone it down a bit.
