Lilian,

can you confirm that your VIN starts as BH23, or does it start with BP23 ??   :clueless:

i would hate to be the bubble burster, but i'm thinking you may have the standard Barracuda (especially with the H4 interior).
Hey Lilian,

I clean skipped straight past this very important letter in your Vin all together, your car is in fact a Barracuda and not a Gran Coupe, this changes the way that it is decoded buddy, EB3-GC spotted the discrepancy and burst our bubble............
Your interior is just a base model Barracuda vinyl and nothing too flash apart from that it is a bench seat car, sorry to get excited, i thought i found another rare full GC Vinyl trim in Blue. :dunno: never mind :2thumbs:

Kenny.

thanks Kenny
I prefer so I can modify the way I want, but white exterior with a blue vinyl interior is pretty cool, blue seats and blue carpet are ok  :bigsmile:

 :iagree: White exterior with a Blue interior would look real nice :drool:

Check these two interiors out :2thumbs:

Top picture has the same bench seat in Blue like your car had originally.

It looks like the blue bench interior of Lilian's car was swapped out for a black Gran Coupe interior, along with the overhead console. The overhead console is a rare option in it's own right!  Maybe we can convince him to clone it as a Gran Coupe!  Just add the 3 piece tail trim, argent paint, and GC trunk key cover.  I think that would be sweet!   :thumbsup:

thanks all for your help,

think I ll keep my white interior, black vinyl top and blue seats, headliner and carpet to lighten the interior, maybe dye the door and quarer panels in blue or keep them black as the dash pad ...

now I am debating going with  a mustang T5 (I have several in stock) behind my hemi, I only need the Quicktime bellhousing ... and maybe a cable conversion..
