So we have a non Rallye dash cuda with a Rallye dash.  The odd thing is that it also has the Rallye A/C control with rear speaker control which matches the build sheet.  Is it possible the car came with the rallye dash even though it is not coded for it?  The first photo is how should be and the second is what it has.

It doesn't appear there would be room for the rear speaker knob on the STD dash A/C panel.  I wonder if that has something to do with it.  I would like to see a picture of a STD dash A/C control with rear speaker.

Curious, could you get a standard or rallye dash in an AAR?   :thinking:  What about a HEMI cuda?   :notsure:
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

Rally dash was an extra cost option on all "BS" Cuda' regardless of engine size

none of the Barracuda line had the "rallye cluster" STANDARD

the rear speaker bezel used with STANDARD VS. "rallye cluster" was different - as was the switch's mounting position

the OP's cluster and the required surrounding dash pieces were swapped

If someone added the rally dash, why couldn't they have added the proper heater control panel ? It looks terrible if you don't.  :alan2cents:

That speaker switch is not correct for a rally dash.

With the STANDARD dash, the rear speaker switch is above the radio - mounted similar to the "Road Lamp" switch on the opposite side

I think my panel is for a Rallye dash.  When they did the swap they kept the road lamp switch in the high position.  Does it appear to be the std dash speaker control now mounted in the Rallye dash position?  The car is also R22.
