I had a 67 R/T that was PP1 red with factory white painted pin stripe. It was original paint and you can still see the factory white stripe on the upper body line. Some one added the lower white stripe later on. Here is a picture of the quarter panel of the car.
Hope it helps.

This is my R/T. The paint is factory original, with the exception being the black stripes on the hood and trunk, which were dealer added, at the original owners request. You can see the white accent stripe. I hope this helps.

Others may know more than me, but I have never seen that stripe on any production 67 R/T's . I have noticed several of those factory ads to have mistakes or preproduction items in them.

I like it too. It reminds me of my dad's old Porsche 911 with the script down the rocker.. Anything to jazz up our "boxcars" I like.

This picture was taken in the Spring of 1967. Check out the black stripe. This car was delivered to the dealership with it. But it doesn't have the Dodge lettering. Maybe the ad was of a prototype.

No. The only stripe available from the factory was the pinstripes.

Have you ever painted any stripes? If so, what was the step-by-step process you used?

As for the Z28 factory headers were an well known factory option in 1967 and 1968. They came in the trunk and the dealer installed them upon delivery. There are many different cars where this process was used.

What does this have to do with whether the factory did it or not??

Everything. People keep thinking the factory devised these one off solutions when it was much easier to let dealers handle it.

Factory documents show only the accent stripes were available. Do you really think they would want to slow down the paint shop to have to tape up cars for one off stripes when they already had a process for the dealers to handle it?

That makes no sense to me.

so if it was the dealer did they read the fender tag said we have to paint a pin stripe on the car?i assumed it was a decal(sticker)not painted...even so how do you explain how the other coronet mentioned came with the stripe out of the factory?also the header deal that came in the trunk of the z28s which everybody knows isnt the case with the old mans car...they came factory installed not dealer....if you like to wager on it i could prove it.

How come the one Coronet mentioned/pictured does not have the Dodge lettering/cutout but the advertisement does?

I don't believe the dealer had any info, decoders and/or was not trained to completely decipher a fender tag even in 67. And they can do pretty much whatever they want to the car before it's sold. It's their car (sorta sometimes).

Factory built cars as planned. They had various large build plan sheets that had codes that were on the fender tag and build sheet, and much more to accompany cars down line.

They did not make stuff up out of the blue. They do make some minor mistakes that are not caught.

As was said. There is nor has been found a production code for racing side stripes on 67 Coronet R/T.

I don't believe any 67 Dodge or Plymouth had wide racing side stripes in 1967?

And the accent stripe is commonly called a pin stripe.

Is it cryptic that the ad for a 67 r/t has bold 'road runner' wording in it? Where's the 'tin hat' smiley?

Says paint stripe. That's the accent stripe.

Mopar never painted on any stripes that were only on the side of the car wider than a pin stripe in the 70's and 70's.

There is a picture of a 66-67 car getting a painted pin strip applied at the factory. It's a long pad on a jig that gets pressed against the car like an ink pad. On many original paint cars you can see the paint thin in the middle of the pin/accent stripe were the pad pushed out paint to the edges.

I'm not sure any big three company painted stripes wide enough that would need masking on the side of a car in the 60's and 70's.
