I have my original carpet but it is trashed. I have compared it to charcoal samples sent from Mark at 914Rubber. It is very hard to tell what color the original was due to condition.

Is it possible my original carpet was something other than charcoal, maybe black?

Mike,
There was never a black carpet in 1972 (or other years that I'm aware of). There were two grades of charcoal carpet used in '72. One was basic (called "mouse fuzz") and was the carpet used in non-appearance group cars. App group cars had a higher grade, short loop carpet (Perlon, as I recall). It makes a difference.

Later '72 cars with app grp also had a headliner made from the "mouse fuzz".
