Any black interiors with black carpet??

[rileydawgg]

Just picked up my D today (woo hoo! yes, will post story and pics soon) and basically going to redo/refresh the entire interior. Except for my Grand National which had no option, all my cars have had black interior, and I'm thinking about replacing the dark gray carpet with all black. This car will not be a "keep it original" looking example -- already ordered the Momo wheel and new stereo. However, I can't find any images through search or google of black interior cars with black carpets. I saw one with gray interior, but that's it. Anybody have any pics that I can look at and see if I like?

I'm also considering black headliner too...

Thanks,

Riley

Congrats on getting the car of your dreams!

You won't find any photos of black interior D's with black carpets, at least not factory carpets. They didn't make any D's with black carpets. "Black interior" factory specs called for gray carpets.

Any all-black carpeted D's would be custom as far as I know.

Iirc, the initial cars were black seats/dash etc with charcoal carpet and many potential buyers found it to be claustrophobic so the grey/light grey option was introduced.


So as Rich says, none were factory but I am sure there is one or two like that now.

Yeah, I saw that DMC CA sells the carpet set in black so that's why I wondered if anybody had it.

I started out with an all black interior but when it came time for a refresh, I had everything redone in a mix of grey/black.

I am posting three pictures:
1) The all black "before" interior. This pictures doesn't do it justice; in reality there was a lot of dry-rotting and cracks. (I remember Dave Swingle telling me at DMCH Open House that my car was a typical southern car: Sun damaged interior and a pristine underside; northern cars tend to be the opposite.) When I decided to re-do the interior I really wanted to get away from the cavernous, claustrophboc interior. I didn't like it.
2) "During" picture.
3) The "after" picture. The picture shows when I was 90% done. In the picture I had yet to glue down the carpeting, buy the (black) mats etc. Now two years later, I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Did you get the dash recovered? I'm also debating that.
