B5 blue headliner in 73 charger SE help

[400sforever]

Has anyone found a correct reproduction for the original style headliners in a 73 charger SE with B5 blue interior? Legendary has some new pembrook grain headliner available but they say that is correct for 69-72 cars according to them. Thats BS anyhow because my original 71-72 mopars have factory perforated headliners in them.

Here are pictures of my original and the one I bought years ago that I thought of putting in it

The color of the new headliner is supposedly bright blue. The old headliner appears more dark blue. What have any of you used that have restored a b5 blue interior car

Do you know what the "grain" or design of the blue one is called?

I believe my 73 has that but in green.

Seems like all anyone ever talks about are the perforated ones.

The newer one I bought years ago I think was called a diamond pattern. .maybe it’s what they refer to as a tier grain. .im not sure what my original grain would be called from my old piece

I had that same headliner material in my 74 Charger Rallye. I ended up putting a perforated headliner in it for about 1/3 the cost of having one made. I sent a sample piece of my original headliner to SMS Auto Fabrics and the said they could make me a headliner for about $400 about 7 years ago. The material I had originallywas available and used in many C-bodies. I'll include a photo of the original headliner material my B5 Charger used. Here's a link to SMS .

I called sms and you may be on to something! Thanks a lot. I will be tickled to death if they have the original material! I’m waiting on a sample! No one else is making correct headliners for these cars yet!

True. I hope it works out for you. I just couldn't justify the cost at the time and I've been hoping a company like Legendary would eventually make them in the cloth material.
