    Thanks The car is not a numbers matching so I'm trying to make it a highly option gran coupe transmission from auto to manual, rear-end open to posi 355, colour from yellow to deep burnt orange metallic are just some of the things that I want to do. The car already has a luggage rack an AM 8 track radio/rimblow steering wheel/ rallye dash/overhead console and Chrysler dealership airtemp unit.

    Looking forward to this one :2thumbs: i have a soft spot for 383 N code Gran Coupes :bananasmi

    And i love that you have decided on doing it in Deep Burnt Orange Metallic, what plans do you have for the interior ? are you going Black or maybe Orange  or even something else like a two tone of Orange and Black :dogpile:

    how is your headliner/overhead console?  mine was shot.  but i did find the right material - same weave, just slightly thicker.

    sorry for the delayed response fellow gran coupe owner my headliner/overhead console board is OK but it's wrapped in vinyl could i ask you how much it cost and where you bought the material was it from EBay the guy who lives in British Colombia Canada? Also Would you be able to post some nice clear pics of what you're talking about I plan on buying some for mine.Thanks Rob

    here is the sample page from www.stockinteriors.com:

    http://www.stockinteriors.com/HeadlinerColorsUp.asp?TypeId=21

    my B5 interior (actually whats left of the headliner), matched pretty close to the A1770 Light Blue, under the console location.  the rest was pretty faded.

    ask them for some samples, especially since they are in canada too.  as for me, the samples i got from 'stockinteriors.com' matched the weave of what was left of my headliner material.  let us gran coupe owners know what you find from the ebay vendor!
