V9X is the code for billboard stripes, (black)
V9W (white billboard)



V8X would be a bumblebee stripe, (black)
V8W (white)
V8B (blue)
V8F (green)
V8R (red)
V88 (bumblebee stripe delete)

 I'm pretty sure on these, if someone would like to confirm?  :thumbsup:

V8X is WRONG for an e-body, only b-bodies and a-bodies had this code.  That is a repop tag and they screwed it up!  '70 Challengers ONLY had 4 types of stripe codes and V8* wasn't one of them.  The four stripe codes are as follows:

(*) denotes colour

1. Longtitudal R/T stripe = V6*, i.e.; V6X Black, V6W White, V6F Green, V6B Blue, V6R Red, V6M Magenta,
    V6J Charteuse
2. Bumble Bee stripe = V9* (colours are the same except Red is V9E not V9R, and there are more color options
3. Pinstripe = V7*, (only two colors available: V7X Black and V7W white
4. Body side moulding = V5* (only available in V5X Black, V5W White, V5F Green, V5B Blue, V5R Red)

V68 is the code for 'Stripe Delete'

Hope this helps...

Its really scary to know how many face tags are out there, why is it so easy to get them?

BTW what kind of interior is HRX9  :clueless:

I would love to know that myself.....

HRX9 is a legitimate code for 1970 Challengers, leather & vinyl bucket seat interior in black.

 I'm a bit confused now  :clueless:
 This is right out of the  Challenger & Barracuda Restoration Guide 1967-1974
Unless I am reading this wrong  :dunno:
V8X is right above V8R

That book has so many mistakes in it that it is almost funny. Almost.   :walkaway:

It is a shame that the pages are a bit too glossy to use as TP, otherwise it might be of some use.  :bigsmile:


V8_ is tape stripes, transverse and V9_ are the painted bumble bee stripes on Challengers.


As far as 1970 cars go, V8_ stripes were only available on A and B-bodies.  :2cents:

Much appreciation for clearing that up Barry.
 I guess "Authentic Restoration Guide" doesn't mean what it used to  :walkaway:
 Maybe after the gloss fades, I'll give the other use of this book a try  :lol:
 Live and learn as they say  :bricks1:
 Thanks again Mr. W  :cheers:

all this stripe talk has me wondering about the stripes on my car.  is this a factory stripe on a 71 or something the dealer added?

Hey Alpha, :clapping:
Thats much better buddy.

Your V5 X is the side body mouldings and the V5 X is code for Black. (V5X)
The side stripe maybe a dealer installed thing or something someone had done on their own accord buddy. :2thumbs:
