1971 barracuda with V5X black stripe?

[shoooter]

Hey everyone I just picked up a 1971 318 barracuda fy1 top banana car with a V5X black stripe? Has anyone seen a car like this? What would the stripe look like?any pictures?  The cat is numbers matching with fender tag and build sheet. Tag says it has a sport hood with hood pins. Car also has the parking lights in the lower valence. Are these normal for a barracuda? 
The bad part is the frame rails are bad.. lots of bondo and fiberglass. car is painted blue right now.

Link below has a car with v5x side protective moldings. Lots of cars have had them removed. Nearly impossible to find nice ones and some guys just don't like the look. Post pictures of the tag and sheet when time permits, sounds like a project for sure. Good luck.

V5X = Body side moldings, not a stripe.

Of course the front parking lamps/signal lights would be in the front valance in 71, where else would they be

Is there much value in the car? It's a 318 barracuda so I'm guessing not very much? That resize link didn't work on my phone I'll try it on the computer to get the pictures up

Parts car values add up pretty quick, if you bought it "right" I'm sure you'll do okay. Doesn't sound like something somebody would want to restore

Here's a link to an earlier post on these side stripes. Helpful photos and info.

Hey shooter, do you have pictures of the car anywhere?  What's the fender tag info say?
