I am confused (not hard for me) did they really make gran coupe convertibles?
Where did the overhead console go?
I know that the challenger could not be ordered as an SE convertible but you could order it with all the SE chrome. trim
 So would the same be said about the barracuda or is it actually built & tagged as a gran coupe?



My thoughts exactly.   :grinyes:  I don't know the answer, but the overhead console thing would be tough to pull off in a vert.   :lol:

Hey Guys, Alan nailed it with the options.  And oviously a rag top can not have an overhead console :sly: :grinno:

Thanks ! Car was hidden since around 77,its only got 60k on it. I dunno really,I've always wanted a stick AAR or a 71 340 car,and this is about my 3rd favorite car.If I got my dream car,this might have to go.My plan is to restore at some point,not in a hurry.

This is the only pic I have of the tach, sorry. I went back out and took these pictures so I cannot help on the one from inside of the car. Hope this helps some.

Pretty solid car.  Just a few small spots of rust on the passengers side trunk. 
  What's the fender tag readout?

 As I have only been able to play in the low car range I don't really know what it would be worth right now.  Probably 45K.  Depending on your wallet and how this market is holding up.  I am probably low.

Also he said he knows where a complete 70 hemi with all the brackets (everything needed) to drop in the car for 16K.

Oh, by the way what’s a used rotisserie worth?
