My personal take on that is that you don't compromise quality to make things cost less, there's plenty of that out there already, mediocrity sucks!

That rug looks great Alan. I thought that 1970 4 speed B bodies that had Burnt Orange interiors,came with black carpet. I know that automatic cars had Burnt Orange carpets,but if I remember correctly 4 speeds had black rugs. Was that just Dodges,or were the Plymouth cars carpet black also?

---

Yeap, the "norm" was all B-body 4-speed's in '70 with burnt orange interior "should" have black carpet. But, as with Des' car, there are exceptions to the rule, as always..

But, as you all have stated... the carpet looks GREAT !!!! Alan, did you just get? I thought the carpet was being discontinued? Guess I should shot Dave an email.....

---

Troy,
what do you mean the carpet is discontinued?

Sorry you are incorrect. That's an old Mopar wive's tale - transmission choice did not determine carpet color in a '70 GTX.

---

Ask G.G. hes incorrect too

---

Yeah, that's never happened.

Here's the Color Accents page...(from another member last go round...thanks other member!)

Interesting, I've never seen that document before....

This is one of those circle arguments that no one can win. I'm certain that for every car equipped with a black carpet, there's one with on orange carpet...

Even after reading the above document, I still don't see the logic? What colour would the console be? What about the carpet on the console?

You're saying this car would have an orange dash, headliner, white seats, panels and a black carpet

Black carpet is required with manual transmission except when you have a manual trans with console. All console equiped cars had color coordinated carpet. That orange carpet really looks good by the way! Likewise, a light green would look good in an F8 car or a dark blue in a B5 car but they didn't come that way with 4 on the floor.

.....black for bench seat pistol grip or 3 spd manual,....all console equipped car were colour matched carpet/console,......never seen a black console/carpet in a burnt orange or BO/Wht interior B body.....

I respectivly - Dis-Agree.

My former 1970 SuperBee was B5 exterior with B5 blue BENCH seat interior, 4 speed BLUE carpet . I'm pretty confident this 14K miles car was original carpet.( actually I'd guarentee it was)

Actually out of all the manual trans car I've owned( maybe 10 or so in the last 30 years) the only ones with black carpet were black interior.

I've seen enough colored interior manual trans cars with colored carpet to know this literature isn't 100% accurate

my opinion only of course.

My 70 RR convertible was exactly that way (except the headliner was sky blue ) when I bought it. But the little pieces of carpet stapled on the rear orange panels were orange which I think makes sense.

No pictures, I lost them all somewhere. And the RR is in 1 million pieces in storage
