Superbirds with a bench seat interior, did they have the standard interior or the deluxe interior? Thanks.

Every bench Superbird I've seen since they were new had the Decor interior.
May have been part of the HT trim level, never checked that, but the info MAY be found at Barry's Hamtramck Historical site.
I've seen 2 '69 HTs that had the base interior - one a known original car I almost bought decades ago - but in '68 all HTs got Decor trim.
My '69 HTs all had Decor interiors.
I don't recall '70 HTs with base interiors but I primarily focus on the '68-'69s.
I know you're asking about '70s but thought I'd post what I've seen.

Thanks! I never thought to look on the Hamtramck site. And as far as digressing, no worries, you may answer a question I haven't asked yet!

A related question, vertically, where are the medallions located on the deluxe bench seats? Looking at the attached photo, what is the dimension between the fop of the medallion and the welting at the top of the seat. It looks like the front and back are different dimensions. Thanks in advance!

On my original interior 70 RR I just measured 5 3/4" on front seat and 5 3/8" on rear seat from bottom edge of welts to top edges of medallion. Joe
