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.

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.
Seeking:
1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

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.

I have got it sanded and buffed all over , cleaned the inside and cleaned the glass.I can`t belive how good it looks now I will get better pictures tomarrow. Iam going to try getting it running for the mopar meet at farmington I think people will flip over it.I can`t decide if I should dye the door pannels and seats or just clean them the beat I can and let them be.I took out the back seat and found the build sheet it says the wheel color is TX9 wich I think is black so i guess it had steel wheels and hubcaps wich I have but they have been widened so I will need wheels. The only rust is behind the right rear wheel about the size of a dollar wich I am fixing and a little in the center of the trunk floor.This is A cool car I can`t wait to here it run
wow! Nice car. Don't mess with it. A survivor with that much documentation and a ragtop R/T. Wow! Black wheels usually means full wheel covers.

If it's fairly rust-free, a survivor is worth quite a bit I think.
I'm not fond of the stripes on '70 coronets/superbees anyways so cool it came stripe delete IMHO.
I would say maybe $40k if the car is as nice as it sounds.
Bought a VERY nice High Impact vert on ebay for 36k.

Any updated pictures? Is this an original North Carolina car? Just looking at the wheel wells they look rusty, but maybe it's just dirt/mud?
