Question about 63-67 carpet sets

[Gary B.]

Apart from possible differences in shade or color, can anyone tell me if there are differences among 63 thru 67 carpets sets in terms of weave, patterns, etc.? Or would a 63 carpet fit and look correct in a 67?

Thanks,

Gary

63-64 are cut and sewn with edging. 65-67 are heat molded.

Gary,
It's my understanding 63 through late 64, the carpeting was 'edge bound'. It was later replaced by molded carpeting which is correct for your car. I have numerous shots of my original 67 carpeting in you need. I have the #450 Blue/white interior. Here's one looking over the passenger, rear wheelwell to back.

The heal pads are different too.

1963 Coupe carpet configuration is unique to 1963. It would fit in a 67 coupe, but many would ask why. It would quickly be noticed as 63 carpet.

Even in 1963 alone the area under the seat would be different for early 63 carpet to accomidate the so called "tool wells"

Probably some other unique to 63 things as well.

Loops, material, weave, pattern, binding, fit, number of pieces and heel pad are all different.
