How much dead cow?
This may be a "how long is a piece of string" type of question, But approximately how much leather would I need do a pretty standard interior. ie. Dash, door trims, and 2 seats? +/-50% answers accepted 
Cheers

If you skinned a bull, could you do the steering wheel as well?  |

Be sure to buy leather from one of those pampered Limey cows - no barbed wire over there to spoil the leather like Yankee versions.

Why not use snake skin? Oh to be different...
I have no idea how much but you might pose the question to an upholsterer.

I'd agree, it would take most of one hide. If it's a bull the jewell pouch will make a good shifter cover. |

I know that I bougt 1/2 of a hide to upholster my dash on my daytona coupe. I had plenty of left over BUT there were some places that was not quite suitable for seats. I think I paid $100 for the tanned skin at Tandy Leather. At one of the upholstry wholesalers I could have gotten a better quality skin for about the same price. My guess would be one whole COW would do both seats inserts (top and bottom and the inside lip and welting on a standard Cobra seat.
