Hey guys,

What were the trim packages offered on a 70 Cuda rear tail light section? Was the three piece (two ¼ end pieces and the trunk) trim offered or was that a 72-74 package? Any pictures would be helpful. Thanks.

The 3 piece trim as you described was used on 70-71 Gran Coupes, 70-71 BS Cudas got the 4 piece stainless trim, as well as AARs, Bh Barracudas didn't come with any, but may have been an option ??

Those three pieces are standard on all M46 equipped cars. They separate the black tail panel from the body color of the car. The M46 cars are the only BH Barracuda model with a black tail panel, only 'cuda models have that color tail panel as part of the 'cuda option. The black on the cuda model extends only to the edges of the four pieces of stainless trim. The black on M46 tail panels extends to the edges of the three pieces of aluminium trim.

Last time this came up, Ola and others seemed to provide some anecdotal evidence to the contrary, namely that some 70 and 71 BH cars + A22, and perhaps some 70 BP cars + A22 might have had the black tail panel paint from the factory and the 4-pc M88 molding. Not saying this is fact just that this warrants more investigation.

That may have been possible on the BH cars but not the BP cars as the tail panel was that "Astrotone" color. M46 cars were not available with the A22 option, so they would be exempt from this speculation.
