what color stripes??
« on: June 16, 2004 - 10:13:37 PM »
Might have found a nice 73 challenger. Original black car. Did they ever have stripes? What type looks good and what color with black?  Thanks

Grm, the '72-'74's could come with a stripe, which is commonly known as "strobe stripes".  They fit on the lower front fender and proceed about halfway through the lower portion of the door.  But if you were to use these stripes, the car would need to have the Rallye package to make it a correct color and stripe combination.  Otherwise, I believe the '72-'74's were available with a narrow stripe that follows along the body line..If it isn't a stripe, then I know for sure there was a moulding piece that ran the length of the body line and could come in several different colors.  Hopefully this gave you an idea as to what stripe kit you could go with if you were to purchase the '73 Chally.  Good luck either way! ;D

Or some earlier R/T stripes would look cool too

This isn't my car i found it on the internet...but i think red on black looks good...if you're going for orginality then this isn't what you want...but just to put stripes on it looks good. i think..Also its on a Cuda don't look at the stripe but the color..

Looks good, but not right for the Cuda for sure.

What are you putting the stripe on?
