PS> In my registry I have 4 other cars with bumble bee stripes that match the paint color. FF4/V9F, FC7/V9C, TX9/V9X and EK2/V9K. All of those cars are early build cars so maybe they were ordered thinking the stripe would be tape. My car is a May build car.

please Ken, show some pics, because :useless:

Settle down ... I'm digging up the pics.  :)  You'll be disappointed though.

By the way all of the 5 same bumble bee stripe cars have been for sale on eBay. I finally decided to buy the white one hoping it was original paint and would help solve the mystery.

I'm partial to the Ledger Paper Green stripe. Partly because of the effort I went through to get them reproduced 15+ years ago.

I love your car. I have a few pics of it but would like to see more!

Kiss,

I LOVE that white on white combo, I can't recall ever seeing a white on white car (any Mopar model) how many do you have registered? Does yours also have a white interior?

Off the top of my head I have 2 other white cars with white tape stripes I can post. Here's a Sport Fury GT.

Quadruple white '72 Barracuda. Sunroof car too!  I should have bought this one too but I don't have room for the 2 cars I have already. :(

OKay here ya go. By the way how are you enjoying YOUR rare stripe Challenger R/T SE?

This is the FC7/V9C car I discovered about 5 years ago. At the time it had the correct white vinyl top on it but black longitudinal stripes. When it showed up on eBay it had the black stripes still but the top was now black. Build date: B15

I don't have any pics of the green car. Maybe Barry will have one?!?

When it was on eBay it showed a bunch of closeup pics of the numbers. It was painted white or was in primer at the time.

Some would argue that the stripe could be a different shade of green than the paint, but factory info, though not explicit, shows it should be an F4 stripe.

Build Date: 924 (which is my b-day)

OK, finally something worth looking at!

Here's the Go-Mango car. Again you could argue that the stripe should be another color (Burnt Orange) but factory documents call the stripe Go-Mango.

This car was redone recently and the stripe was tinted so it could be seen. So what you are looking at is not original. It is known that when the original owner bought the car it had a BLACK bumble bee stripe. Build Date: 817

Stripe closeup. Remember this is not factory and we don't really know what the factory did in these odd cases.

Not very much this year. I have a lot of small problems with car: at the moment a shift lever of the 4-speed is broken  :crying:

Thanks for the pics and informations, Ken.

Greetings
