I have a 72 TC carnival red/ oatmeal
the carpet is some strange copper color. I know colors fade but this looks bizarre in the car.I have a guy I know who has a 72 TC he tells me its factory original
The seats are original worn.
and so is the headliner. I headliner is this greyish textured vinal?
I was thinking of replacing the head liner/ new seat covers from banks and new carpet that is oatmeal
want to keep it original
but these colors!

If you are interested in originality, Banks stuff is probably going to be as close as you're going to get, but for carpets, I'd advise https://www.autointeriors.biz. They provide carpet kits in different materials and just about any color. They will be better than stock.
If you're willing to relax your quest for originality, I would advise you to use a local interior shop for the headliner and seats.

The red 1972 TC is in primer now and the doors painted
They look like they were molded in red
No waves or runs
Incredible looking
The 73 and 74 TC got some extra parts and sifting threw a tool roll that looks like it was found
As an under sea treasure on the Andrea Doria
Rusted together tools in the roll if you un revel they will be orange dust
No kidden there crunchy !

Then they are almost as useful as when they were new! If you're really interested in an original set, they come up on eBay - in fact there's a set there now. If you want something useful, you can make your own kit that's better and cheaper.
