According to the 70 Charger registry available stripe colors were: V6_ - Tape Stripe Longitudinal 4601 Built 49.1% N/A V6F - Tape Stripe Longitudinal - Green V6X - Tape Stripe Longitudinal - Black V6W - Tape Stripe Longitudinal - White V6R - Tape Stripe Longitudinal - Red V6B - Tape Stripe Longitudinal - Blue V8_ - stripe codes are for bumble bee stripe, not longitudinal stripe. So V8G is a green bumble bee stripe. http://1970chargerregistry.com/optioncodes.html

I think it's ledger green???
It's a stripe color, and not a body paint color. Correct, Code V6F, LG for Ledger light Green 1970 Charger side longitudinal side pinstripes, if that's what the OP has?...they are decals/tape not paint

Does any one have a picture of a 70 charger with a green side stripe ? I already found most of that info above on the net . Ledger green from what I found is V8F.
Does any one have a picture of V8F and V6F stripes ? I would agree that all 1970 and maybe even all years of stripes with the same code should be the same color. The Ledger Green name was coined by Performance Car Graphics to descibe a color that Dodge simply called Green. V6F on EF8.

stripe colors usually refer to one year, sometimes to one specific model.
the 1970 vinyl stripes for performance Dodges: Charger R/T (V6F & V8F), Coronet R/T (V8F), Super Bee (V6F & V8F), Challenger R/T (V6F) were all the same color, Chrysler Corp. simply named them "GREEN".
the above info was all that was required to obtain the correct stripe for your car while still available from Chrysler.
as the restoration industry grew, the need arose to provide a descriptive name associated with the shade of a particular stripe color to eliminate the possibility of incorrect offerings.
at some point "ledger green" became the name associated with the "GREEN" use for 1970 Dodge performance car vinyl stripes, but did this name originate with PCG (or another restoration parts supplier) or off of a sample color palette at 3M (or another vinyl stripe manufacturer)?

Your saying that both V6F and V8F stripes are the same color from Chrysler or they are now the same color that the suppliers make ?
