You could even go as far as to modify the factory 318 2bbl air cleaner to accept the 4bbl.

Hey Dan, What does "credit option" actually mean please. Would a P6** interior be the top of the line for interiors for a 1971 Gran Coupe.......




I'll let Dan correct me if I goof, but the leather and vinyl seats were standard for the Gran Coupe, with cloth as a no-cost option. If you wanted vinyl, they had it as a credit option, meaning since you weren't opting for the leather, they would give you some money back since the leather was factored into the price.

And if I'm correct, the vinyl seats were the GFC were fancier than those found on the Barracuda and 'Cuda.

So would the P6** interior be classed as better or equal to the leather interior then.

Hi Brad (bltcuda1972),

Can you post up more pictures of your Gran Coupe please, i really like it a lot.
Something about 70 and 71 Gran Coupes are so appealing and yet so very cool with some one off options.

1970 & '71 Gran Coupes had leather & vinyl bucket seat interiors STANDARD.

If you ordered the all vinyl (Gran Coupe specific) or cloth & vinyl, you received a (48.25) CREDIT on your window sticker in '70




If you ordered the all vinyl (Gran Coupe specific) or cloth & vinyl, you received a (44.40) CREDIT on your window sticker in '71


IMO a lesser cost "all vinyl" or "cloth & vinyl" interior is a lesser OPTION in a Gran Coupe, but at this point I don't think they'd affect the value of a finished car. (they do look cool & are considerably "RARER")

Thanks for that clarification Dan

I think the P6** interiors are pretty darn cool myself also.

This is the back seat upper portion of what came in my Brothers 71 Gran Coupe, it was the only factory part left in his car, it is P6B5 interior car.
Have a look how dark the Blues are on it.

Congrats on a great score. I really like that car!!
We brought a 70 convertible /6 barracuda mostly original paint, steel wheel car and a 71 Hemi Cuda Clone Ragtop to Carlisle the same year. The /6 got way more attention. My brother drove the ragtop down to Carlisle and I trailered the Hemi. It would be refreshing to see that beauty stay pretty much like it was born.

Are you selling it or keeping it? If I were keeping it I would put in a hot 340, drop it a little with good suspension parts and beat on it.. Selling, respray, big block..

The second picture of the seats is what was in my 70 Gran Coupe. Black door panels with the red inlay...black seats with red piping and the hounds tooth material in center made for a great looking interior. Man I wish I would have kept that car...

Great Car !!! Most definetly keep it small block . . . my 70 Sport Satellite was originally a 318 car, however the original engine was LONG gone when I got the car . . . I built a 360 and 727 for it. Kept everything looking same as 318 . . .
