72 grille color and luggage rack code
« on: August 09, 2010 - 10:01:04 AM »
My 72 was purchased without a grille or luggage rack. First I am not sure how to tell if my car had a grey, or body color grille? And secondly the car had a luggage rack because the holes in the decklid tell me that but I haven't seen anything in the build tag to confirm this. The car is b5 blue with black stripes and all of the chrome that they put on them and a 318. I don't have the build sheet...wish I did.. Thanks

The grille was argent.  As for as a luggage rack it was optional and even could have been put on by the dealership.  Hope this helps
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

That page & others at the link below, I do not see a luggage rack listed, I think '71 was the last year for them?

I am sure the car has the original decklid, so the luggage rack must of been installed by the dealer. The grille color may have been silver and the only reason I can guess that is the car only came with a left chrome mirror. So since it didn't have dual mirrors that were painted?

Cudaguys car had a luggage rack when I got it. Ask him if it is on his fender tag

Is it a Barracuda or Cuda?

As far as the mirrors go, what does your fender tag say?

The fender tag states a left side chrome mirror only.
