I think that is what you are looking for, but the question only refers to trunk carpeting (not all, including trunk carpeting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 The answer depends on whether the Avanti is a '63 or '64. A "complete set of carpeting" for a '64 would be fewer pieces than for a '63. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I somewhat agree with Dwight. If I can count correctly, according to parts manual, before serial 4309 has extra piece of carpet on luggage compartment seat back. After serial 4892, there is a piece for the rear console. The trunk carpeting only consists of either 5 or 4 pieces depending on whether serial number is before 4309. The interior consists of either 10 or 11 pieces depending on whether the serial number is after 4892. A complete set would have 15 pieces if before 4309, 14 if between 4309 and 4892, and 15 if after 4892. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Of course, are we counting the kick panel and door panel carpets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I ( as above ) was under the impression there were 2 versions of the trunk carpet. In fact a year ago or so the was someone looking into this issue to try and ascertain the reason and changeover period. I have seen both trunk carpet versions for sale through vendors. pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 But, the question concerned only the trunk carpeting. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted January 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just to be clear...we're speaking of the carpeting inside the trunk area only...not the carpeting in the passenger compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob, I was looking for eleven, but should have included that "before 4309" in the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Once again, according to the parts manual, Avantis before 4309 only have 5 pieces in the trunk. After 4409 only have 4. Where do you get 11? Edited January 30, 2022 by 64studeavanti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Let us count out loud shall we...? The back panel is 1. the right and left wheel house is another two. The right and left side panels are another two. The "football shaped fillers both right and left are another 2, The right and left floor pieces are another 2, the spare tire cover is 1, and the right and left pieces by the latch panel is another t2...don't forget the latch cover itself, for the last piece.

64studeavanti Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Bringing this up again. I have 2 avantis after serial 4309. Neither show any evidence of carpeting on the sides, just the 4 pieces listed in the parts catalog. Others have noted the same. The Avanti before serial 4309 has all 11 pieces. Does anyone know for sure that after 4309 all vertical carpet was deleted leaving just the 4 pieces listed in the catalog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 You are all missing the two REAR pieces on either side of the lock panel. That makes 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
