No, not original, someone's custom. AMC didn't even begin contract
negotiations with the designer until after the 1970 model year which ended July
30th, 1970. It is not difficult at all to put Pierre Cardin interior into a
68-70 Javelin, everything snaps right in. The only thing you will have
difficulty with is the headliner, which has to be slightly trimmed in back
(don't do it in front due to visor holes) and the door panel inserts are tough
as those were recessed into the 72-74 door upper panel.

Eddie, funny you should mention the 'Denim' interiors. At
the Dick Teague show on Sunday 9-2-07 there was a 1970 Javlin with a Pier
Cardan (however you spell it) interior. I don't mean just the seat, it had the
headliner intact and special inserts on the door panels and the rear seat
was correct too. I have seen a few of these cars before, but they were all 2nd
generation, not 1st gen cars. It sure looked original to me, or someone
did a really good conversion. Have you ever heard of any 'prototype' cars like
this? Gary 'Themix2'

Tom, I didn't see what type of tan interior your car has nor year in this
thread, however if it is a 1978, 1978 was the only year that AMC offered four
different denim (Levi's) interiors in the Gremlin, and Concord, including AMX.
If not 78 get rid of it, it is sort of like those late 60s/70s AMCs with
yellow exterior and green interior! But if 78 Denim, consider keeping it, even
though it clashes with orange paint. Got to keep in mind lots of stuff clashed
in the 70s, plaid and stripes, disco vs punk, ect.

Tom you will not miss
that barf tan interior. I changed mine to black. It goes much better with
the orange body.
