Look on the car's body data plate underhood for TR. There will be a 3-digit number code there. I can decode it and then you order the carpet that is closest match to the code.

I say that because exact original color may not be available, although GM used a set number of standard carpet colors that the repro mills have stuck pretty close to.

Next to the TR is 376

376 is "Neutral" vinyl for Luxury Coupes and Sedans which throws us a curve as that color is hard to describe. Too light to be beige, too dark to be white. Best described as having a slight "cream" or "green" tinge which is consistent with the Midnight Green paint code.

LC/LS had cut pile carpeting. I've seen this color with black carpeting or sometimes keyed to the car's exterior color. I had a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix with Neutral interior, with a medium gold carpet and dash pad to match its Granada Gold exterior. That said, I've seen carpet and rubber factory floor mats in the Neutral color but tough to keep clean as you might imagine.

What color is the dash pad, or original carpet if there's any left?

On my 1976 442 the TR code is 110. Any idea what color this is?
