The main differences are color and AT vs. MT. Carpet sets up to
mid-'72, where the front seats are on two rails, are also completely
different from the later years where the front seats have a 3-point
mount. Charcoal was common, but beige cars came with light tan
carpet. I doubt if you'll find anything NOS, but I have some decent
'71 used pieces in various colors.
