There are a few places to get new carpets for my 75 Luv.
Stock inreriors.com has one for $120.00.
Auto-interiors.com has one for $112.50.
Then there is always e-bay.

Does anyone have any experience one way or the other?
A search gave a little help. Thanks in advance!

Years ago I picked up an indoor/outdoor carpet remnant and cut it to fit. Not as nice as something made to fit, but way cheaper.

I bought the universal black at O'riellys and used 3m 77 adhesive to glue it in and trimmed to fit .

idk if this is something you would be intrested in but

When we did the interior of my cousins 69 camero we bought like 12-15 yards of heat moldable carpet ... it was something like $3-$8 a yard... and to answer the next questions no i dont have pictures of it in the car or a link to any products....

but a quick google search for heat moldable carpet might get you where you need to be...


any ways how we did it was measures the interior (longest and widest points) with a piece of string from one side to the other alowing the string to follow the conture of the paneling... then added 8" at the widest/longest - deepest place and cut to that mesurement started at the front with heat and worked diagonally across then started again... did this about 3-4 times till the carpet was relaxed in position then cut to trim length and installed the rest of the interior... did the same thing with the trunk
