    how many on here own a Gran Coupe?
    « on: December 12, 2008 - 10:47:47 AM »
    My 70 GC is a numbers 383-4 car. Not finished restoring but all painted,  I just need to find the time for reassembly. Mine is one of 674 with the 383-4.
    Who else has GC's here? PIcs?

    I have owned one in the past.  I would love to have it back.  Mine was white with black interior and black top with a 318.  I hope to some day get another one to restore.  Gordon

    That is a beautiful hue of Green, look forward to futre posting of your Gran Coupe.  My brothers 71 GC is factory B2 light Blue Metallic, very rare car and even rarer color.   I asked Aaron to do a picture of it in e-body pics under Chops on the last page posted.  He is doing it back to original except he likes the billboards and gilled fenders, so it will still be full Gran Coupe but will have these two 'Cuda options, oh yea and a Hemi too :2thumbs:

    There was one around my area a few years back. It was and original FJ6 '71 Gran Coupe with a green plaid interior and 383 4 speed. I know the guy who owned it. Pretty cool car. I wish I knew were that one went.
