Car will be going for auction soon. Listed as having "Orange Houndstooth Interior Option" but I never would have thought this would fly with a black interior. Burnt-Orange interior maybe....

Educate me, please smile

There was a 340 Cuda built just like that in Baton Rouge one bad white repaint in mid 80s.

Yep - agreed. ^^^ I bought a really rusty but all there & running '71 B-Fish back in the mid-80's that had a black interior with orange all vinyl seats (THESE cloth/vinyl seats are RARE & really sweet IMO), & all the rest of the interior was black - just like this. Oh, and the B-Fish I bought back then had a perfect dash pad, and a perfect grille. I think I paid $175.00 for the car, but boy did she part-out NICE! Don't get all excited - it was a TOTAL rust bucket 318 car that was about to implode if you drove it.

BTW, these seats with the cloth are REALLY comfortable in-case you have never sat on them before. I've seen very few '71's with these seats over the years.

Limited knowledge at the moment. Will update you when it hits auction. They'll show the fender tag then.

twocents looks correct with the exception of the woodgrain inserts in the door panels - here's a HEMI with the same interior - it was also available in black/white "SALT & PEPPER" inserts, which is the correct interior for my '71 pilot car scope
