I'm in need of some help on the 73 Cuda Body stripes . My build sheet is blank for the stripes option. Did all 73's come with them? There is no evidence on the old body pictures that I can see. I really think the stripes look great especially with the Hi impact Lemon Twist color. Does any one know would these have been Glossy or Matte black for a Lemon Twist car?

No, some were white. Depended on the color of the car. B3 was available with either color.

True! I was thinking his yellow car, and all I can see is black, although maybe they did white stripe yellow (?)

Interesting....My first answer would have been YES...stripes were part of the "Cuda" package like all the exterior trim just like in 1970...
But then, with a few people saying theirs didn't have any, I started thinking that stripes were optional like in 1971...

But now I'm wondering if you had to delete the stripes Anybody have V88 on their fender tag ?



I would just put black 73 Cuda stripes on it...unless being OE jugded

They were optional Alan - just as the hockey stick in 70 and the billboard in 71. There would be no V88 stripe delete code for a stripe that is optional.

But - They were standard on Barracuda as part of the Sport Decor Group....Code A51

Black and White were the only two stripe colors being offered - according to the 73 Data book anyway.
