How much should a new interior cost?

That could depend on just how "perfect" you are wanting it. I advise you to be prepared for a number around $10k for a complete end to end job.

 

That is a big car....you just can't do seats, on such an older car, expect closer to 20k doing by a professional, not someone who is learning on doing ferrari imteriors....all the clips, knobs, switches, you can't just do an interior if all the other stuff is 44 yrs old...and if you have busted stuff, like modern radio, and incorrect steering wheel expect the price to go up, headliner, and on, and on...
Any Pics to share as a base to see ?

 

I believe your right. In my opinion 10k at the absolute minimum.

 

I went through the process of getting an estimate to replace the black interior of an 87 Mondial I bought in October. Wanted a red/tan car but settled for red/black because the car was in excellant shape. Shopped around and found a shop in Southern California which did this type of thing. Told the man I wanted to go from all black to tan. Price he quoted me was $13K. Decided maybe black was not such a bad color after all.

This shop only worked on high end cars, and from what I was able to find out did excellant work.

Would guess that to do the same thing to your car would be some where between $13K and $20K.

I have settled for a new carpet kit in my car. Next step was to have some one put it in, there are about 24 pieces in a carpet kit for a Mondial so needed someone who knew what they were doing. Agree with the comment about not having a "learner" do it. I asked an excellant Ferrari mechanic in the San Francisco Bay Area about doing it and his recommendation was a shop which worked on installing carpets in cars. The shop which was repairing my wheels recommended another shop. Will end up going to the second place, price was about $400 difference between them.

Suggest you find one or two Ferrari mechanics and ask them where they would send a car to have the insides replaced. They probably will have many more years of experience than you, and know who does good work over and over again.

One problem the new interior will cause, but maybe not, depending on the out side of your car. The inside is going to look excellant, how will the outside look compared to it. Are you going to want to have work done on the outside?

You know these cars are money sinks. You get one thing done and you want to just do one more thing, and then another. So far my wife does not know the total of what I have spent on the car.

Good luck.
