BTW thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate hearing from the gurus.😉

It is the stripe that runs from the top front of the fender to the rear quarter extensions not the lower stripe. It was affected by the tire not the wheel.

My A34 69 GTX came with 14" redline tires and the Plymouth division wheel covers.

the painted V7_ "accent stripe" was NOT available on a GTX - it was available in 5 colors: RED, WHITE, BLUE, GREEN & BLACK

they were STANDARD on Sport Satellite (RP)
and an additional cost $15.15 OPTION on Satellite (RH) & Road Runner (RM)

V7_ had nothing to do with the tire choice alien

440 steel wheels were 14x5.5"
HEMI steel wheels were 15x6.0"

"ROAD" wheels were 14x5.5" (440 ONLY)
"RECALL" wheels were 15x6.0"

Yes, so a 440 gtx made after August 1968 had 14X5.5" wheels. Period

Any GUESSES as to what type is only a guess. Could be any available wheel tire combo.

The stripes don't have anything to do with it.

an August 1968 W23 recall wheel 440 '69 GTX would have 15x6.0" wheels (F70-15 tires) when assembled, but should not have been SOLD NEW with them.

I see we're saying the same thing, I missed the "after August"

Well learned something new today.

However on my two Lynch Road Superbees the early car does not have it and the later one does. Odd.

Maybe a previous owner removed it because they thought it was graffiti shock wink JK

My Lynch Road '69 A12 RR still has it, but you can barely read the "G" and the 15" wheel size frown
