Add me to the list.

'71 EV2, 318, 904 that's been modified & semi Cuda'ised. Sadly the build tags & broadcast sheet are long gone so I figured why not.

So all of the die casts will have the sport hood and not a flat hood?

I also have a '70 Gran Coupe. It's a 383hp 4 pistol #match, rally dash, bucket seats.
VIN BP23NOE100383. Officiel is the car from 08-1969 and LA.

I have the car now for 7 years, but the car is since 1989 in the Netherlands and never bin driven over here.

Here some pictures when I bought the car.





Here some pictures in the current state.

That car is just so sweet :woo: it is very cool that it is a Gran Coupe and the thing i like most is that it is a 383 N code car and is the 383rd car off the assembly line :2thumbs: that in itself is just way cool :jumping:

barry,

you sent me copies of my paperwork a while back (BP27N0B294308).  i now own a GC hardtop (BP23G0B221430), that is EB3 ext/EB5 int/V1X & a/c that had a 440 in it when i got the car. 


383barracuda,
what does your fender tag have to say?  i am curious! 

as far as a Gran Coupe registry goes, i was thinking it would be cool to have a list of just the BP's (70 & 71) & maybe fender tag info.

As far I know they never build at the factory a GC with a 440 in it.

They build 341 GC with a 383-4bbl with a 4 speed. I don't know howmany of these are with the N-code.
I got a rallydash and a early E-body, so I think thats mayby not more than 100 build.

Below a picture from my fendertag.

it was a 318 car that someone had dropped a 440 in before i bought it.  i am keeping the 440, but everything else will be just as from the factory. except maybe a few extras  :cooldancing:  like rear spoiler, fog lights, cuda hood, ralley dash, & hockey stick stripes. details, details.  but all the GC stuff will stay, argent tail panel, 3-piece tail trim, GC rockers, GC emblems. hopefully it will turn out nice.

yours has some great numbers, expecially the build date... my birthday!  the dark argent interior is kinda rare too, nice on an orange car, let alone being a 4-speed car!
