Like a beast!   A bit of a challenge but all came out nice:).   The car is rarer than a hemi car, as mentioned only 16 built.

Nice car!

I think you have the wrong wing for a 71.  Also, is the window trim missing?

Car looks great now, but being such a rare car, it's too bad it wasn't restored back to "stock original" :2cents:

would it be correct wing if this is an early built car?

It's a possibility, but I doubt it was originally coded for a rear spoiler :2cents:

Car was built Sept 28 1970. Is the original wing.   As for window trim, I just haven't put that on yet .  Haha. It's a process:).     The car was originally blue with blue leather with a white vinyl top.   When I purchased it it was purple the car was painted in 1980.   When I purchased it the last inspection was 1996.  The interior was fun because it was built in late 1970 the original seats and seat Foams were from 1970.  I was going to restore to original but because it was a Gran Coupe you cannot find any of the trim or paneling to convert it back to that.  I'm only 28 and I enjoy it

Do you have the original fender tag and Broadcast sheet ?

That would be extremely rare for a Gran Coupe to be coded for a rear spoiler :drool:
