I have the build sheet and original window sticker. No stripe code on the fender tag but it's a Windsor built car, and the build sheet has 2 blank squares under the "Stripe" box. No info on stripe or color on Window Sticker. I figured if it were a stripe delete car, the build sheet would have code 88. And if it came with a stripe, what color would it be? It currently has a white stripe but I have seen black stripes on black cars too.

Interesting. So I guess it didn't come with a stripe. Dan, would my car have the engine call-out on the fender? If so, what colors were available? Also, I've seen white, black and even a yellow roof stripes on 71 RRs over the years. Was there any other color available?

Very low optioned car. Yes, available strobe stripe colors were only black, white, and gold. If the car had the strobe it would have been coded on the fender tag. Non air grabber cars did not have engine callouts on the fenders.

Non air grabber cars did not have engine callouts on the fenders. The previous owner added the air grabber, spoilers, and apparently a stripe. The car did come with the optional A87 decor package and power steering and power disc brakes which I think is mandatory with the Track Pak option. I would have personally not put om the stripe though.

Looks like the wheel opening moldings that were standard as part of the A87 package were removed at some point.

Yeah, and the deluxe steering wheel was replaced with a tuff wheel. Holes in the wheel lips are still there though. Not sure if they were intentionally left off after the resto or if the previous owner never got around to putting them back on. Either way, I don't have them.

Nope Ron Chrysler specified roof color on the fender tag so technically they could be considered triple colored.
