I bought this car the other night. Can someone confirm that this is a two tone red and white interior? What is Briar? Also what is V5W? Is it a white pin- stripe of some kind?

Congrats on the purchase

Yes, it's the 2-tone red/white interior

- red dash & carpet
- white door panels & seat covers

V5W is white vinyl body side moulding

It looks as if the dash,kick panels, and a-pillars covers were red (sprayed black now). The seats and door panels are white. It has a black carpet in it now but if a red carpet is correct that's what I'll get.

V5W is white vinyl body side moulding with white surround stripe


with surround / accent stripes on the 1970 Barracuda / Cuda models.

Thanks for posting this pic. The car in question used to belong to a good friend of mine. Original 'Cuda 383 ragtop, red with red/white interior and A/C. Acquired out of MN in the late '90s.

The AM radio was surprisingly good in that car -- the best I've heard in any E-body.

IIRC the car went to California where it may still reside.
