Putting together my 74 Rallye. Can't find correct materials for the following.
1) Seat covers I have don't show up as being made. Legendary says No! Anyone else find a source?
2) Headliner material S1B6 is data plate info. Again Legendary - not available.
3) Sail panel insulation board. Looks like not available and I'll need to make my own from trunk divider board. Looks like paper coated tar board.
I'm including photos. Just wondering what others have done.
Thanks.
Terry

Well I'll tell you that's a hard top car so the sail panel is a molded plastic pan not the card board like the s.e. cars . Last time I spoke with yy1 on here he had a set of sail panels for sale ,I will advise there hard as hell to get !
74 cars are odd balls is it the color your not able to find?
 
I'm sorry I completely overlooked a big deal that seat upholstery is not correct! You should have buttons for that year car! Was this car an export? Please share more pictures !
 
Is that a "WL" base model?

The seats look similar to my RL base model Satellite.
Those aren't available either. I'm sure a very lightly padded green plaid wouldn't sell to good.

I had SE sail panels. Sorry.
 
theres a set of tan sail panels in a charger at the yard if you can use them?
in fact,i eyeballed the whole interior,and the door panels the back seat panels and the sail panels were all in Very good condition.
IK the green one was a Se car,w green/black interior in Rough shape,but unsure if the tan one was an Se.
dont think so.....

I guess I should have given more information. The cardboard in the sail panel area was behind the plastic sail panels. The cardboard had the insulation glued to it that was on the rest of the roof. I've owned the car since 1985. It had the old style clear plastic seat covers on it when I bought it -the kind that look almost like small bubble wrap. It was a one owner car when I bought it from dealer and has always been in Washington State. Here's the data plate. It had dealer installed a/c, cruise control and a chronometer mopar clock, the kind the numbers flip down. Column shift auto with HP 360. B5 blue. I believe that's factory seat covers and I've seen another 74 with the same type emblems on the seat. Half canopy black vinyl top when I bought it but has a white vinyl top called for on data plate. Weird car. And it has absolutely no rust anywhere. Thanks.

I made a mistake in my first post. The seat material is S1B6 see seat cover options in pic. This is a bench seat car. The car had the hanging yarn fringe above the front windshield and rear window when I bought the car. I removed that right away.

That is a kind of odd car.

I like it.
 
You can make new paper card board and insulation for behind the sail panels, classic ind. sells new sail boards for headliner material covering you will have to add glue to the clip portion they were not made strong enough. 1972 sail panels are the best looking and most expensive, that is why the factory decided to make cheaper panels in 1973. use 1972 if you can. I purchased my original color and coated cloth washable headliner material exactly like the factory material from SMS auto fabric in Oregon, remember perforated headliners were never a material in 1973 or 1974 The price is about 300.00 with extra sail panel material. hope this helps.

I noticed my 73 has a non perf headliner.
 
Some came perforated, some not. I got mine from Dantes who is having a sale right now. I'm sure they ordered it from somewhere else but it was fine. Got the sail panels (SE) from him too.
 
ODZKing, is your headliner vinyl or cloth? Turns out it's a 73 Chrysler New Yorker cloth headliner material. They sent me a sample to compare - exact match. See pic in original post.
