Title: 70 Boss 429 Trunk Mat
Post by: GT500KR on February 16, 2020, 12:25:53 AM

I've owned my 70 Boss 429 since 1983. It's  in original condition, right down to the paint. I'm not sure if the trunk mat is right though. What would you expect to see in aSeptember 69 car?

Typical Dearborn mat is speckled with a distinct bottom side material look. It would probably be better to take a picture of the top surface from a couple feet away, a picture of the entire mat laid out and a picture of the bottom side surface.
