I think you could get it with the cuda if you ordered the overhead console with it. Not sure though. Most Gran coupes had either the belt badge seat or the 4 button leather like we got. I have seen cuda's with the 4 button leather before. I need to buy new covers they are ripped in spots.

Pretty neat when i fire up the Gran Coupe the exhaust vapor comes out the drivers side only for about 2 mins then as the engine warms up the heat riser the passengers exhaust starts throwing out the vapor and when the engine is at operating temp and i kick down the idle they both are rumblin. Thought that is pretty neat to see the heat riser functioning.

Here is what a Accurate Exhaust system sounds like in the cold winter morning air. I love it and I rev her up a bit at the end of the vid to show that rolling trumpet sound they make.  :bigsmile:

I'll get a vid a little later shifting through the backstreets a little later on from the cab. She sounds pretty sweet in the cab rowing up and down the gears.  :burnout:

Take a slow ride with Grancuda1970 in the backstreets on Christmas Eve!!
As you can hear the resonators drown alot of the noise out of the cab. Pretty quiet inside and when outside out on the street she is definately louder going than coming.

I am addicted to the Sound of my mopar. My daughter and I went for lunch and I absolutely am addicted to the sound of the 440 growling on the Freeway!! No other brand of car sounds like a Mopar that is for sure.  :bigshades:  :biggrin:
