picking carpet color - 03/03/24 03:00 AM

hello. I picked up a 73-charger project. I got it with everything reupholstered but still needs carpet. its green but I like it. I have the original carpet tag (1749 JF8 ) I'm looking in the Classic Industries catalog for the carpet and it shows 3 possibilities for 73 b bodies. dark green, moss green and dark olive. But nothing specifically for that or ant code. before I just pick a color would anyone know the correct color for (1749 JF8) tia ink.

Vendors typically will send a sample if you ask. Remember, there's a good chance your existing carpet has faded.

Classic handles OER carpet and looking at the OER website I see only two choices:

MB959508 Dark Green 4-spd
MB960508 Dark Green Auto

OER Carpet

I also looked at the Hamtramck site and the color and trim book only shows one color green carpet.

Charger Interior Color Accents

Don't know what to tell you, I don't work with '73's much.

Can you share a picture of any existing carpet from the car?
I used to have a '73 F8 green on green, bucket seat Charger SE. IIRC my carpet was the loop style "dark" green version.
