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.
Thanks, I will have 2 cars of the same color once their both restored, my 69 Bee is the same factory color. I could never figured out why some people dont like this green, to me its one of the best colors. But the old original F8 is a far cry from the new base clear in f8

A friend had one back in the 90's....318, burnt tan exterior, tan leather interior, bunch of options including 6-way seat.

Does anyone know why they didn't make an opera-style back window for these like their sister car, the Challenger S.E.??
