This ones for the 'Brains Trust' and those with unmolested cars.

 

I think I've ordered the wrong hoodlining for my late 71 GTR.  I've got herring bone but thought all cars were roebuck until 73.

 

I've spoken with my trimmer and he assures me there were some cars in herringbone. He has an unmolested '69 GTR with herring bone.

 

Can anyone confirm that there were some Herringbone hood linings in some LC cars?

 

Cheers

 

Marty

Yes Marty, Early LC Torana with X suffixed trims up to around June 1970 have Herringbone headliner. When V suffixed trims were introduced with HG release the headliner changed to Roebuck pattern.

Thanks boys, I think I'll leave it herring bone.
