What is the correct woodgrain type for the door pull end caps.  What is on the car and other unmolested car looks different from all the other interior woodgrain?

Reminds me of the Cougar burlwood.

Nice NOS piece. Reproduction parts don't look like originals at all..

You are correct on both accounts.Check with Chris at Legendary in Canada to see if he is still selling the great repros.

I beg to differ the excellent repros that I got from Chris did look the same burl.Typical repros look the same wood grain as the dash.

A little off topic question:  A while back (Years ago), there was a Company that reproduced all the interior Woodgrain Decals for the 68 Shelby's in different shades.  They even did it in "Blackwood" like what was used on the sides of the Lincoln Blackwood Pick Up Beds.  Is anyone still making those?
