Just got off the phone with ACC they say that the mold they have Is based of the original 2 piece design. That maybe what I have is a special ?

so was it a custom order, did they have that option?
Unless you have owned the car since new anything could have happened over the years. my 67 Dart ( yes it could have changed in 68) is 2 pcs and my dad bought it new in 67.
straight from the 68 parts book - 2 pcs
Like said, in 50 years building Mopars and many, I don't recall seeing a 1 piece carpet, but does it really matter/? Only place I would buy new repop carpet from is ACC anyway. Where else!

Looks pretty original has foot rest and found many pieces of build sheet on floor which leads me to believe nothing was removed.
BTW if it is OEM carpet it will have markings and maybe even a tag on the back side

Strange indeed. My 69 Dart came with two piece carpet. Never seen one piece before.

Wow this is an interesting thread. My 68 dart 2 door sedan also came with a 1 piece carpet. I had always assumed that the 1 piece carpet was original from the factory. And that the aftermarket had always made the carpet in 2 pieces because of shipping costs and it doesn't matter anyway once you install your seats
I'll post a picture in a little bit

It’s a molded 1 piece carpet no tagging, well i guess I’ll never know. May just keep it for prosperity. Already ordered the 2 piece carpet. But there was 2 holes cut out under seats and 2 more small holes towards rear seat pan maybe carpet came from another vehicle.
Anything can happen in 50+ years
I guess I never gave it any thought all these years. But it makes sense Mother Mopar having a one piece and also ACC having 2 piece and shorter box for shipping.
2 pc was OEM at least in 67 thru 74 Check the parts books. They list front and rear.
23-79-3 front
23-79-33 rear

All I know is I'm just not anal enough to really care!! I stopped crunching numbers and such way back in the late 90's!
