71 Trim Code & Sheet Metal

tmbrennan · July 19th, 2008, 07:29 AM

Hi... new to this thread. I just got a '71 Coupe. Can anyone tell me what trim code 989 is for the interior?

Also, in surfing sites, it looks like nobody offers patch panels for the rear quarters. Only the bottom rear of my quarters are bad. I hate to replace the whole quarter if I don't need to. Does anyone know where I can get patch panels? Thanks!

989 is Sienna (reddish brown) vinyl bench seat with armrest in Cutlass Supreme coupe and convertible, and 442 convertible.

All I can say about patch panels is, they used to make them. If they're not available, you need to find a good metal man. That patch is not terribly difficult to make.

You could buy the quarter and just cut what you need, but that's kind of wasteful.

I dont know of any vendor that has the patch panel for 70-72 cutlass. I had to buy the whole quarter and just use what I needed.
