Default Difference Between 66 and 67 Coupe Carpets

Is there a difference between 66 and 67 Coupe Carpets? Some people say that there is no difference. I bought a new 66 coupe carpet set and am planning to install it in my 67 coupe. An answer would be greatly appreciated.

I am almost 99% sure that 65-67 are the same design they just can don't have all the same color from year to year.

Only difference I would think is around the console for the '67 parking brake, and the "pad" on the '66

The pieces of carpet you get from the vendor (like Al Knoch for example) will be the same cuts and molds for 66 and 67. Colors not the same between the years in all cases...like saddle is not the same but some have no difference like black and red.

Maybe you don't care, but the carpet (cuts) will differ (seat pads, emergency brake rear console bolts). I have pictures of correct cuts if you are interested. Email me at gvettn@gmail.com and I will send off.

65 coupe carpet pieces differs only in the rear compartment because of the blower motor back there.

Not much fun installing carpet in the rear of a coupe...have fun!
