My new 69 RR project now has black carpet in it, installed new by the previous owner. It's a 2 tone blue interior car. Should it have dark blue carpet or is the present black correct? I've had 69 2 tone green interior Roadrunners and their carpet was dark green. My initial assumption was dark blue for this car.

All 4 speed runners came with black carpet in 69 even ones with bucket seats & consoles?? "ALL" is rarely the case with anything ..... but I would assume that a bench seat M2B bench seat 4-speed Road Runner had "BLACK" carpet.

Talked to the previous owner and this M2B trim code car had black carpet originally.
I also had an untouched 69.5 car with two tone green interior back in 2000 and it had green carpet with the decor bench interior. I bought this from the original owner and the interior hadn't been redone yet.

Was it a 4-speed or auto? 4 speed car.

I know of a 69 GTX convertible that has a blue interior and is a 4 spd. I believe that Bill Allphin also knows this car as he owned it at one point and it originally had a blue carpet.
inherited a 69 roadrunner from my grand pop.

Console cars will have color matching carpets. Bench seat column auto cars will have color matching carpets. I had a B5 Hemi 4 speed Road Runner with B7 bright blue bucket seats non-console, blue dash, blue headliner, blue upper doors and black carpet. I have known a couple of 4 speed bench seat cars whose owner’s swore they came with color matching carpet but they were not the original owner’s and there was no real proof that it was original to the cars. Never say never but I Perdonaly have not seen a survivor to document an exception and I have seen a lot of 69 Road Runners.

Wonder why Ma Mopar would put black carpet in an all blue interior car, 4 speed or not? Especially when blue carpet was going in allot of other cars. That's why my first reaction to this was "this has to be wrong".

I don't think it was a cost cutting/saving measure
the same scenario happened with the introduction of the '69 340 Swinger on the a-body line - cheap interior with rubber floor covering - 4-speeds got black carpeting
due to the popularity of the cheap go fast a-bodies - 4-speed rubber floor covering showed up for '70
never seen a colored interior '69 4-speed B-body w/console & original black carpet never seen a colored interior '69 4-speed Charger/Super Bee or R/T w/original black carpet
never seen a colored interior '69 4-speed A-body w/console & original black carpet never seen a colored interior '69 4-speed Barracuda/GTS w/original black carpet
also, I've never seen a '69 RR with rubber floor covering My original 69 Formula S console 4 speed car has yellow interior and black carpet.
