So there was only one accent stripe "color" for the '71 RR and photos that I've seen that look like a black stripe were due to the angle? MikeR 6249293-71ChryCarCraftintrocrp.jpg (110 downloads)

It was sitting in a driveway in Petaluma California, original black on black 440+6 car (can't recall the trans but I THINK it was a 4 speed) what a cool car that one was, in slightly deteriorated original condition, looked like original paint and still looked decent.... It had the gold reflective stripe which I think "made" the car.

The do appear to change color because of the reflectivity, especially when taking a photo with flash. 6250808-f1ed_12.jpg (93 downloads) addict:to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively ....hmmmm
