WTB: Interior carpet for 1973, black loop pile - NOS / Mint, Looking to purchase new or mint factory interior carpet for 73 Options

[Jett]

Hello, we are restoring our 73 2.0 to factory original and are looking for a NOS or Mint quality interior carpet set. The original carpet was black loop pile but would use charcoal if available. We would also take any individual pieces.

Any help would be greatly appreciate!

You'll need to give folks a bit more info than that to find NOS carpet.

Try adding color & confirm that it was loop pile in your 73 2.0.
... Black, Charcoal, Brown, Tan/Beige & Dark Tan (oatmeal-ish mix of tan & brown) were all available selections when new.

AutoAtlanta has some NOS carpet bits and limited colors/types in NOS roll stock.

Other than that, some stray members may have some bits & pieces.

As an alternative - since NOS carpet sets/pieces today are like hens' teeth/unobtanium & are now 30-40 years old (so the edging at least is now brittle) - maybe consider a good repro set made up of the loop pile (or perlon if not loop in the Appearance Group for your 73 2L) from one of these places:

Lakewell.com (Belgium - probably best quality carpet from GER/EU sources)

Auto International in Fallbrook Ca

World Upholstery in Ojai/Ventura CA

& there's a third one up in the PNW whose name escapes me now, but they do advertise in Panorama & Excellence magazines (as do the other 2 USA guys).

PS - stick with the German or EU carpets, as the Domestic (USA) carpets are too shiny & don't wear as well.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks for the advice but really want to keep the car all factory, but of course reality will dictate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The original carpet was black loop pile but would convert to charcoal if available.
