'68-69 Camaro Floor Mats - Original or Not?

[scuncio]

I was interested in these for my '68 Z - but wasn't sure if they were original. They almost look too nice. Anyone know for certain?

I don't think the repros have the dimmer switch hole. or not that I've noticed..Joe

----I think you are correct, but when you turn over the drivers side there is a cast in line where the dimmer switch hole goes. Its a bit difficult to cut the hole correctly though. Don't ask me how I know. That hole pictured looks perfectly round if that's any help.
After looking at the pictures while expanded I think they are probably original.......Bill S

To me, those look like the extra wide accessory floor mats that Chevy offered through the parts department that somebody hand trimmed.

From here they look authentic.
Todays reproductions are thick & hard compared to the thinner assembly line originals.And have less definition then 50 years ago.
Those look curled,repros can't do that very well,and would take decades to achieve.

Just bought a set of reproductions for my 69 RS Camaro from Classic Industries for $169. There pretty good quality however I have my car tucked away in a bag so I'll have to wait until spring to see how they fit. Those look like there in good condition just curious how much were they?

These are already up to $255 - evidently there are other folks who think they are originals, too....

They look to be original mats from the era but not for Camaro. They have been hand cut from a larger size down to something narrower to fit a Camaro. That edge is obviously hand cut and not how the factory edges were. They are not cut to the same overall shape as the originals for Camaro either.

Good observations, Jon.

These sold for $770 if you can believe that.

Just saw that & no I can't believe it....Joe

$770 is way high for floor mats, especially if they are not assy line correct.

Looking at these for my car: https://www.ebay.com/itm/391443902547?ul_noapp=true

Being repop, I know they can't be perfect, but are these close to assy line correct?

I realize I will have to cut the hole for the dimmer switch.

Thanks for any help.
