I asked a few months back about a red tail stripe for a 70 roadrunner and it was brought up that is was never offered in red. Here is a pic of a red tail stripe what do you think is it original or aftermarket ? Thanks ! Dave

My (December 1971) 1970-'71 Chrysler Parts Catalog shows: Road Runner (23-23-12) TAPE, Deck Lid Color Stripe 3444 894 - "White" 3445 253 - "Black" 3505 142 - "Gold" With the shown "Red" part number being one number before the "Black", I'm guessing discontinued or "never-saw-production" part.

Guess that wouldn't be the first thing from books that didn't seem to quite prove 100% accurate. With that part number, I'd bet it made it on to cars.

If that were true, then wouldn't you think someone should be able to produce a vintage picture, fender tag, window sticker, or BS showing a red stripe?

] Maybe nobody looked cause the books said it didn't exist. Still, with that part number on it & being so close to the black stripe number & year one re-popping it in red in the early 90's. Also, folks do seem to remember them on cars. I dunno kind of strange.............

In the '80s, red stripes were available for T/As too, but the factory only offered them in black.
1970 RR stripes again, this time from the 1970-71 collision parts manual;
Red TA stripes were available from Chrysler?

Not that I know of.
The red RR stripe has a Chrysler part # on it so is that SOP for reproductions to have that on them? That's why I wondered.

I 'remember' a lot of things that didn't happen...like the Hooper triplets.
I do remember the Phillips triplets very well but, that's another story. As I said in my first post, I don't remember seeing a rr with a red one. And at that age I spent a lot of time looking at cars. Just seems odd to see the OP decal with that number so close to the other stripes number. Dealer installed option?
