Floor mats

[Hey_jude]

It seems like I read a post on this pre-forum crash but what floor mats came the 68's originally? There doesn't seem to be anything out there to purchase or research. As alway thank you and please forgive my ignorance...

Well when I bought my KR, there wasn't any, so I'd say none.

Interesting question, I assumed they all came with mats.  Did any of the 65-70 Shelby's come from the factory with mats or were they all dealer installed?

Mats were typically bought from the dealer. Temporary paper mats were the norm from the dealer back in the day.

Thank you all. So I'll change the question...what do y'all use?

These rubber pony mats were in my 350 when I bought it and are very nice.  No information on the brand or where they were purchased.

The pony mat is the most typical used. There are nice reproduction pony mats available from most vendors.The original pony mats are quite expensive now. There are some real rare mats that were sold from Shelby that are solid black rubber including the Cobra emblem .Those are the holy grail of floor mats .  I don't know way those are not reproduced.  There are a number of variations on that Cobra theme being made.

I've seen those mats but never thought about using them. Utilitarian and nice looking. Looks like a great option. I have a set of black and red vinyl and carpet that came in the car when I got it but there is no logo and i don't think they are special. Thank you for your replies

The rubber ones that most places sell are a good mat. If you have a red interior on a Mustang be careful to make sure ur getting the color you want. Some are bright red some burgundy. I think ur safer with burgundy either way.

Those were offered thru Ford over the Counter Accessories.  If you ever watch "American Pickers" on one show they were picking some guys old Ford Dealership or a Garage of a man that owned a Ford Dealership way back and Frank found a stack of those NOS Mats still in the Boxes and he only bought one set in White.  Got them real cheap too.

That is really cool. Great pic and thanks for sharing that. I'll keep my eyes open for those. I actually ran across a Paxton supercharger about 15 years ago on eBay. At 1k it seems like it was a bargain. It was right before we brought our car to MO. Poor timing. Just shows to go you, never know what you'll find when looking. Love the input on this thread. You guys are a blessing to us.
