I just bought a 1 onwer all stock unrestored R/t conv my question is the car was stripe delete I have never saw one like this is that rare enough that I should leave it off or is it no big deal and put it on.I don`t want to hurt the value because 1 day it will be for sale.Also if 95 % factory paint could be saved not super shiney but not cracked up and all still there would it be worth more as is or restored with fresh paint.Its ff4 green with white inside and black top I just don`t no if I should restore or presurve whats there money wise.I will work on pictures so you all can check it out.

It's worth trying to save as much paint as you can if it will stay say 75% original. It seems a lot of 70 R/T convts. came stripe delete. It's a rare and desirable car no matter what.

Save the paint, touch as little as possible. Leave stripe delete.......Waiting for pictures!

About 25% of 1970 Coronet R/T convertibles were stripe delete. That would be around 60 of the 236 cars produced for sale in the US.

Just remember; they are only original once. If the paint (or a large percentage of it) is presentable enough to save, then save it.

The stripe isn't as important because it is relatively easy to remove. Myself, I'd leave it stripe delete.

I too seem to remember a recent thread on this car and look forward to more pics.

Do not add the stripe. The more you leave it alone the more it is worth.

I posted in wiw section I lost the cord to up load pics should have one monday.The car has set from 1978 untill now I am going to get it running touch up the quarter and clean/buff for days and enjoy it a little and sell it this summer I can not afford to keep it long term.I just don`t want to hurt the value, I restore cars for a living so to me its worth more to me all factory than a rust bucket thats been welded up and mudded from front to back.Its not a high option car its got 440 4 bbl auto in console buckets ralley gauges tach 3 spd wipers stripe delete F4 paint black top white inside, its got all the original paper work and 1 onwer before me.The top is showing its age and the seat have a few places but I will leave it all original just cleaning it good removing 30 years of shop dust and dirt.

You'll face this if you add the stripe…

Looks without the stripe.
Sounds like a neat car though, clean it up and drive it.
Can't wait to see the pics.

I will have to agree leave it as it is and you'll find that a true Mopar person will Thank You....I have also thought about fixing up my survivor but I have good friends that have talked me out of it...I'd say change the little bits that bug you and keep the orginial stuff...the new buyer will love you......just my

Here are a few pics. Will have better ones coming in the next few days. Left front fender has been buffed in the pictures. After the pictures were taken, I finished buffing left side. After the hours of cleaning and buffing, does anyone have an idea of the value of car when in running condition? I am getting lots of interest and have nothing to compare it to.
