Interior: 1964 Avanti carpet

[Hawklover]

Need a fawn and black carpet. Is Rene Harger making up this carpet?

Try Mike Baker in Greenfield Indiana.

Not meaning to question someone's taste, but all 1964 Avantis used solid black carpet. I personally prefer the salt & pepper carpets, but I have 2 '64 Avantis

Also, there are issues with Rene -- see other posts.

Dwight, indeed my '64 has solid black, and I always disliked it, hence my desire for faun and black. Yes I am aware of issues with Rene, like waiting for well over one year for products;-(

Brad, contact for Mr. Baker??

Mike Baker runs a restoration shop in Greenfield, IN. I have seen his contact info in the Avanti magazine. If you are not a member of AOAI I will dig it out.

Many thanks gents!

Yes I saw the carpet Mike had for sale at South Bend. It looked fantastic! If my Dad hadn't replaced the carpet before he gave me the car I would certainly think of the salt and pepper myself as it would brighten up the black interior. I want to keep the car as original as possible though ( R 5636 ).

Rob, any chance you know what the cost is, and if he can make up a set for a '64 as opposed to a '63?

[stude1964]

I didn't see the price. I believe they are being done by the folks at Endurance Products. Just call him at the number listed above. You might also try him at avantirestorationservice.com.

I understand that Bob Ziff in Pa is also selling the carpet, his prices are just about $700.00. But the carpet for the '64 is not identical to the '63, especially around the front seats.
