    1974 Grill
    « on: June 13, 2005 - 09:12:14 PM »
    Hey I found this pic of a 1974 Barracuda, I was wondering if this is the correct color for the grill?  I found this pic on a barracuda history page.

    Just checking, I have seen others painted this way and since it was on a history page I thought I would ask.

    As far as I know they were all grey and black with chrome accents and had orange around the headlights.

    I thought I recently read that most were grey, but certain colors were painted the color of the car.

    Only on the 1971 model were the grills painted body color.    :thumbs:

    Aside from 71, 72 had color keyed grills available, but not 73 and 74.  I don't know all the details, but I am sure it is similiar to 71 where it was a select number of colors, and probably tied into the paint option where the hood was blacked out less the 2 scoops.

    Well I went looking for some info on this and did find that in 1972, 20 exterior colors with lemon twist being the only color to cost extra, 3 colors of vinyl roof and 5 interior colors.  The only other paint choice I see is a mirror option.    :dontknow:   Does anyone have a 72 with a factory painted grill??   :dontknow:

    I would think it was part of an option group?  Definately was available though.  Common knowledge that the 71s were available with color keyed, but I have never seen how they were even dictated.  Rubber bumpers required them of course, but how did some chrome bumper ones come with or without??  I have a copy of the salesman order form for 71 barracudas, and no where on it does it mention where you could choose a color keyed grill with a chrome bumper.
