Yes, I have seen orange stripes on White, Black, and Hemi Orange R/Ts. I have never seen a Lime stripe car in person, but do have info on one R/T and a non-R/T.

I have the door to a white '71 383 R/T with orange stripes in my stash.....

There is a black with orange stripe survivor that has been at Carlisle in the survivor tent

There is an black/orange stripe V-code owned by a member in TX

http://moparcollectors.com/v6v.html

So at least a few got out....

i remember in a mopar magazine a hemi orange 71 r/t with reflective orange stripes. wierd but very cool. i don`t think lime was available for 71 as they were decals unlike the painted 70 bumblebee stripes that i have seen in all sorts of colors-even white on a white car.
all the best

I seen the black and orange at Carlisle .That was around the time I had heard about the orange not be available{surviver questionable in my mind ..looked hard at it }. My car is a black stripe delete {with R/T fender badge } .In the past I tried white but car looked too "skunky" the orange flourescent looked good I wouldn`t mine trying it for awhile if it was available as OEM.I know red is available by aftermarket. Thanks

All longitudinal sport stripes on Challengers were decals, regardless of year.

White with white stripe and black with black stripe cars are known to exist for 1971.

And as I mentioned I have some info on two V6J cars for 1971. Both of them are Green Go, though the stripes could be had on black cars too with the right interior color.

I know the car you mean. I believe it's out of NY. I probably had the same questions. I'd have to look at my notes but I don't think the stripes are called out on the fender tag of that car. But it's on the window sticker I think. Can't remember all the details.

Black with flat black stripe looks best to my eye. Final answer.

Or surely someone makes a dark silver one, even though it "wasnt available"(who will know any better?) . It would make the car unique, something no one else has.

Unfortunately one of the former owners of the door sprayed flat black paint over the orange on the stripe...

Anyone else?

The car I have pics of actually has the black stripes installed on it instead of the correct orange ones as called for on the FT and BS.

Interestingly enough, the default stripe color for certain EV2 cars (depending on the interior) was V6V:

Most stripe companies cut there own vinyl graphics with a cutting machine. So they can do whatever you want if they have the right pattern.

I'd be worried about figuring out the original color of the Orange stripe. I'd think that color would fade easy on original cars (if there is an original car with the sticker still on it).

Seems all the new repro stripes are thinner than originals.

All of the fluorescent stripes faded quickly.

Performance Car Graphics used to have the orange ones. Don't know if they still do.

You might want to give Moparts member "ChallengerGary" a try, and see if he's interested in doing a project like this...or Pheonix Graphics

Gary and I worked together on getting a challenger stripe made a few years back. I had a place mix the color for the vinyl and had it sent to Gary for cutting it. Since then I believe phoenix graphic started selling the color.
