I got very lucky and was offered, and purchased, a cargo mat that was slightly blemished for $60.00 from ISP. The great thing was that the blem I believe was nothing more than a pencil eraser spot where the rubber was a lighter color. I cannot even find where it is. Anyway, my cargo mat fits my 1967 just perfect. I would recommend that anyone who is in need of one of these mats spend the $150 since it is a very well made and durable product. FYI - I was a my local junkyard [Russ Recycling in Duarte, California] and for anyone who may be in need of one of these mats in brown, there is a squareback [Tan color, yr. 68 up] that was in excellent condition junked there because of major front end damage that had virtually flawless interior. I remembered being there last night and seeing that they still had the cargo mat that was in very good condition. Unfortunately when I was there a few weeks ago there was a guy pulling out all of the paneling. They are on the intranet for anyone interested and I believe that you can order parts and they will ship. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Yaghoubian" <goob@adelphia.net> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 10:26 PM Subject: [T3] repro rear cargo mat > I was off the list for like 6 months so if this topic was covered, apologies! > > Having grown up in/on/with my squareback and been the one who finally made > the decision (sometime around 1984) to discard the cracked, oil-stained > rear cargo mat, I was pleased to see on ebay that ISP was offering new, > albeit pricey (like $150) repros.
