which carpet color do I need

1970 bee has tan or saddle interior depends on who's codes I look up which code on the build sheet is for carpet?? thanks ozz

nobody?

My 70 Cuda has a T5 tan interior and the carpet is tan as well.
It is a very original car but the carpet was replaced at some point

It's the main color of the interior or the 'second' color if a two tone interior. Same color for instrument panel, steering wheel, and headliner.

But not always, there are some issues with burnt orange and 4-speeds where they got black carpet (at least for a while).

depends on who you ask.
Also, depends if it's 4 speed versus auto.

my old 70 Bee was 4 spd , blue int and blue carpet.
my old 1969 GTX 4spd was also blue int + blue carpet

all the books say all 4 spd cars were black carpet regardless of interior color

mine has been replaced as well. it is an auto. trim code is m6t5.car is EV2.I guess my concern is the different shades of saddle that the carpet is made of not sure of which one ic "correct". thanks ozz

Can you scan that info and post? I've been trying to figure this out forever. The 'Color and Trim selector' info achived at Hamtramck-Historical.com says nothing about 4-speeds, just that 'carpet, steering column, dash, and headliner are main or second color'.

Most 4-speeds I see are colored carpeting; the main problem area is 1970 burnt orange interiors with 4-speeds seem to be black carpet about half the time (my St. Loius convert is black carpet and 4-speed as well).

Also, I don't see where this ever shows up on a build sheet...if so, what line is it on?
