It is the original carpet, but has faded to the blue color. My orig rear 
deck
carpet is the same color. I have now fitted a rear deck from an 85 GT. The
seat belt holes are in a slightly different locations, but it worked fine. 
Nothing
that a dremel tool and some duct tape didn't fix. For carpeting I used the 
black
box carpet which Crutchfield sells. Looks fine.

You could also re-dye the original carpet to whatever color you like.

I have one of these in my garage. I might part with it in a few weeks, when
my MC powered 83 ur-q leaves my garage under its own power.
