Does/can anyone produce an accurate reproduction carpet for this application? The only commercially produced carpeting that I have found so far is a NPD listing of carpeting for a 1969 Shelby convertible (black raylon with red vinyl rectangular mat inserts in all four footwell locations).
For your white interior Shelby Convertible just order a standard black interior Mustang convertible carpet with just a heel pad. They will make them that way. Once received remember to open the box and double check just in case. Check for other issue while your at it because if you wait months it will be much more difficult to return and have the problems fixed or the carpet replaced
The whole white interior effects the carpet on both Shelby fastbacks and convertible in 69-70. Though there have been a very few fastbacks that receive regular Mach I (red insert) carpets because a supply issue or because some one was not paying enough attention on the assembly line
Allot of this has been muddied over the years since allot of owners changed style when they replaced the original carpet
Have a fair number of pictures but its early morning. Believe this has all been discussed with pictures before but might have been before the big crash and wipe
So to be clear you are talking about white interior FB Shelbys not getting the red inserted carpet? So what should they have? 4 black inserts or just the standard interior DS front heel pad?
All black interior FB Shelbys should have gotten the red inserts?
I have seen to be the norm of white interior FBs on the SAAC NV site with white interior and red insert carpet and other internet searches. So this is not the norm, Jeff?
There should also be no red stripes on the white seats in FBs-correct(looks hideous when it is there)?
These questions have been posed to me recently and I could not answer with a 100 percent certainty-only what I have seen.
So I have also seen a blue 69 Mach1 online that was a thoroughbred car and no red inserted carpet on his white interior.

So how does the white interior affect the carpet on verts? I have a black interior with just the heel pad on my DS front. No other mats. How would a white interior affect that? Shouldn't it be the same-heel pad on DS front only and black carpet? Thanks. Gary
