   My 1970 Vitamin C Gran Coupe  P6XA interior has red piping.

P6XA is NOT a valid 1970 Plymouth E-body interior code - what interior is in your car & what's coded on the fender tag?

red door inserts with P5X9 (black vinyl bucket seat interior w/black & white "houndstooth" cloth inserts and red piping) ONLY

& even though "WE" call it "houndstooth" it is NOT!

I knew that.... But I've always used the Cheat term in spite of knowing it's wrong.....

My bad. Was going off memory. Checked fender tag and is P6A8.

I have this one that I will not be using. I will be using a repop panel or removing the wood insert and patching the holes. At any rate, send me an email through my profile if you are interested in it.

P6A8. 
I  haven't seen that one.  Black Frost.   Anyone have a picture of that.

Are you saying that your Gran Coupe has the all black vinyl interior & door panels with the red insert?  How original is the car?

the 3 Gran Coupe "black" interiors for 1970 make up more than 40% of production (8,759 total '70 Gran Coupes "BP")

PRX9 = "BLACK" leather STANDARD ~1,305 cars
P6A8 = "BLACK FROST" all vinyl credit OPTION -$48.25 ~1,279 cars
P5X9 = "BLACK" vinyl w/"BLACK & WHITE" cloth inserts credit OPTION -$48.25 ~1,130 cars

IMO the all vinyl '70 Gran Coupe interior is the best looking E-body interior available  :wowzers:

FWIW, the Parts Catalog doesn't clear up the issue showing the same panel for all "black" BP interiors - listed separately are the multi piece insert mouldings (& part numbers) in "woodgrain" & "orange"

Yes..... All black vinyl interior. Fairly low mile car. (61,000). N code, D21, A31, A62, N41 etc. Had one repaint but appeared to have original astro-tone rear panel paint and argent silver grill with red bars.
"Technically" i'm the third owner. Second owner possessed it under a year and did nothing to it.  It was a default sale, so no communication with him.

"woodgrain" & "orange"


I was going to say " mine look more orange than red..."  I thought they must have faded...

This thread has really gotten off topic..., I appreciate the shared wealth of knowledge from everyone.   :cheers:

Yes. Good point.   "ORANGE"   is the correct word.
