Is the correct headliner available?

Those seats must be out of another Gran Coupe I would guess.

That pattern is not Gran Coupe or Challenger. It might just be an aftermarket or newer car pattern.

Call Legendary or Dantes for the felt headliner. Otherwise there was a guy up in Canada that had it but I would have to dig up his name.

If the cardboard is bad get ahold of Dayclona - he makes a fiberglass replacement.

Also the leather seats I think have different foam

Legendary covers are pretty salty at over $1000 for the fronts only. Since the car isn't original in many ways, I would plan to use the standard Cuda covers and put the money somewhere else in the car.

I see Legendary also sells the headliner material needed in a roll.

Thanks all for the help in clearing this up!!

cuda leather is pricey but it looks better than cuda vinyl IMHO

Legendary emails out discounts all the time.

Or call Dante and ask for Legendary and see what they can do on pricing.

I agree about the leather covers looking better. I'll do some more pricing and talk to Legendary. Those would also be a good difference maker between a standard Barracuda and a Cuda, which I already have.

I put white leather in my AAR when I did the interior. It pops. It came with white vinyl from the factory and they are just not a comfortable at all. I had to change foam and and make my own stays to line up with the difference attachment points between the two styles of seats.

Looks like your console has been swapped out also. The correct 70 console should have the seat belt holders, not the ashtray.

Yes I did notice that as well and mentioned it to the present owner. Car was presented to the present owner as being very original but that is obviously not the case as we dive into the numbers and take a closer look at what's there. Water under the bridge at this point. That was 25 years ago.

Sounds like I need more than just the seat covers themselves to put the leather covers on these particular seats?
