I didn't really think about it until I looked at that picture posted by Dayclona but the board I took out of my red challenger was about two inches short in the back.  I must have been from a gran coupe.

I don't recall the GC headliner being any shorter, it is narrower by probably 1.5-2" per side in the rear....

In that Dayclona picture, maybe the challenger board is just sitting up straighter than the gran coupe board so that it appears longer.

Maybe, I had a spare GC board & a SE board that I stored for years, one stacked on the other, I think they were the same length, the SE used a rear window trim ring that was probably 3" wide that got covered with the same fabric as the headliner, that may be what what your car was missing causing the headliner to seem short...

The Challenger board is longer - 55" measured down the center, 52" for the Cuda.

Will the Grand Coupe headliner fit on 70 Cuda's? It would be great to be able to do a cost effective one piece headliner that looks like a custom. Thanks.
