Trunk area mats and the missing curb

[lytebrite]

Hey everyone, I’m at Lloyds Mats in Northridge for lunch. My 73 US spec 3.0 seems to be missing the ridge on the left interior of the trunk. Was this a production run change? Both the old trunk mat and the new one seem to accommodate this. The production team here is willing to make a different shape for different years. Thanks for your help.

Yes it appears your floor panel is missing the divider piece. Mine is 72.

I just checked my friends 73, it also has the divider

my 74 did not bring that divider

Is your 74 a North/South American VIN with the bumper braces? If so they are not there, no room.

I must have a transition year 73. Mine doesn't.

Mine is May 1973 and it has the divider, I think all US coupes at least had them.

Mine is a Euro 73. I purchased the carpet from KHM. It misses on both sides. All trunk portions are original as far as I know.

My 1973 3.0 CSi built in 1972 does not have the 'divider" board.

Andrew, Can you see screw holes from underneath if your elephant skin has been replaced?

I will check soon. She’s still on the lift under a cover.

No screw holes.

Andrew, that might not be an original panel. It seems to be missing the additional cut out profile around the wheel well liner?

I thought I recognized after market staples!

Staples look really good for 50 years old.

I think there was a production change for the later half of the '73 model year production run. I am fairly confident the 1974< had no curb.

74 can’t have one due to the bumper braces on the 74
