    Contact Bill Evans at:

    they should get you set up on just about any wiring needs you have!


    my question was more about reliability of the original wiring ...

    my apologies!

    i went with new wiring for one simple reason:  If something were to short out in the old wiring, would i be upset with myself after all the time and effort, if it went up in flames?  maybe it is an outside risk, but for the cost it might make you sleep better at night!

    Nice work so far!!

    I went new year one,.. better to be on the safe side than burn up all that hard work. The old one was hard and  crusty and for a small block.

    Hi Lilian, please excuse my ignorance but i have not bee on for a little while now and i was wondering if you have posted your fender tag details up at all or if you could post a link for me to have a look please. I really like seeing what options came on Gran Coupes, they are a really cool optioned up Barracudas with some awesome color options, are you doing your car back to original or making it your own color combo.

    Hi Lilian :wave: ,

    For starters, there was not all that many 1971 Gran Coupes made compared to 1970 Gran Coupes BUT
    I fixed up your Vin so it read correctly, It is GB5 for paint code, and in actual fact i had a read through your options and i do not think you realize how rare a car you have ? Your 1971 Gran Coupe is only the second 1971 Gran Coupe i have come across that has the rare B5 '71 vinyl interior, my Brother has the other 1971 Gran Coupe that i know of with a B5 '71 Gran Coupe vinyl interior, these interior are very rare in deed, the 1971 Gran Coupe had it very own material and pattern to the seats that where totally unique and rare. They had three different hues of Blue and three different type of material used in the seat material.

    Your choice of color combo is a very nice combo, but your original color combo is a very nice combo also and it is a very rare color combo with the vinyl GC interior,  :popcorn: food for thought :dunno:

    Would you have your original seats out of the car by any chance, in the Blue color please, i would be very interested to see if you do have them ? My Brothers car showed up here in Australia with just the original rear seat still in place, but we have contacted Legendary and they will make the correct seat skins when he is ready to order his full B5 Blue seat skins from them.

    Thanks,
    Kenny. :2thumbs:

    Have a look at the bottom seat design, that is Gran Coupe Vinyl, very rare indeed.............
    If you look at the blue to the left at the bottom, you can see what i mean about three different colored and textured vinyl Blues used in the seats.

    And i forgot to mention, That B5 Blue Gran Coupe colored vinyl interior is a credit option, Run of the mill Gran Coupes got the leather/vinyl seats as standard, then in line of ordering was the vinyl/cloth interior, but top of the line interior was the full vinyl, full credit option that your car came with and to top that off, your car is a factory front bench seat car, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME................. in my eyes  :22yikes: :wow:


    More food for thought :popcorn: :dunno: But, :walkaway: it is your car and if you have bought the Black interior parts already, then build it that way, i know how i would build it if it was my Rare, top of the line, full credit, full vinyl B5 Blue interior Gran Coupe, and with a front bench seat............. :misbehaving: :wave:



                                                                                              :bigsmile:
                                                                                     Hows that for rare !

    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).

    thanks Kenny for all these informations
    the seats in the car are black, I have the bench seats options but everything is black in my barracuda.

    do you have pict of that blue interior, Ijust thought this car was just a plain jane barracuda, nothing rare .... but when you say rare, how rare is it ?
