Anyone know if 4 door carpet will fit in a wagon?
 
Anyone try this company's products?  Opinions on fit & quality?

I'm pretty sure that it will get you everything for the "passenger area" not the "cargo area" in the back.

I think gpd294 did. You're okay if you don't have the rear carpet option.

Yup, no carpet in the rear.  Cool.  Now, I wonder if they have the OEM "shag" style carpet?!

My carpet seems more like pile than shag. The PO of mine put an aftermarket piece of gold shag behind the back seat in the mid 70's though

This is where I ordered my carpet and it was ACC brand and great quality. The carpet is just for the passenger area, but you can order extra by the yard in the same shade/style for the cargo area, which is what I did. I orderd the 80-20 loop style rather than Plush Cut pile because I figured it would be easier to vacuum and keep clean. I had the guy that installed my headliner sew a vinyl border around the cargo area carpet so it wouldn't fray.
 
Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks!  Assuming you ordered 80-20 loop for the 72-73 Torino?  That's what I want, also.  When you select 74-76 Montego or Torino, it doesn't list 80-20 loop as an option.  Also, assuming 72-73 Torino would fit my 76 Montego.

I guess mine is pile.  It's very long and shaggy looking though.  I'm sure there's all kinds of dirt trapped down in there.  You can't tell it from the top (the shag hides it), but there are cracks and splits in the carpet.  I discovered this when I was installing speaker wire to the rear.  Will be adding new carpet to my Christmas list!!

I am ordering some new 80/20 for mine before the Moonshine festival. Just have to tarp it afterward because of the window seals. Man, I wish they were available.

Me and you both Joe. I think I am going to order the window fuzzies from Class-Tech soon because I'd hate for them to run out and then be on back order for ever. I need to check my interior fuzzies to see if they even need replacing because I know for sure my exterior fuzzies could use some help. Just FYI Wink

I requested color samples of the carpet, which showed up last week.  Unfortunately, none of them are close to matching the original carpet color.  Which will be fairly obvious when compared to the carpet on the door panels.  Anyone know of any other source for 4 door carpet?
