I have only one bad thing to say, I can’t believe that a person took a factory liberty blue convertible and painted it red. Wow. Like there is not enough red GTOs already out there. Nice job on restoration- but killed it with the color change.

Thanks. I knew I was going to receive some flak for my decision on changing the color. Believe me, It wasn't an easy one. Liberty Blue is definitely a beautiful color. But I had my reasons.

Thanks. I reached out to GTO.Paul and he said he'd send me a photo he has of of original carpet. I'll see if it matches this photo you posted.

Thanks. I'll definitely reach out to you if I come to a dead end with mine. I wonder if mine are and oddball as far as the stainless compound they are made of. I'm still hoping to find that out.
