Did any cars get produced with V6J lime or V6V orange stripes I seen cars with orange and red but they may have been added. I though I had heard these colours were canceled ??

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.

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

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.

I had a stripe done in ledger green and another member supplied me with a piece of an nos sample. Place that mix vinyl/print vinyl can supply you with a fab of colors. If you want something custom, you can send them something to scan to match it.

Gary :Would your orange be a match with the OEM color{wouldn`t care if it were not truely flourescent } but be more durable ??

Re: 71 challenger Rt orange and lime stripes produced? - 06/22/12 03:03 PM
Yes, modern vinyls actually last longer than the ones from 1970. The original stripes were made using a 3M calendared vinyl. It was probably only rated for 2-3 years of outdoor use (based on non-fluorescent colors). Modern calendared vinyl is rated for 4-7 years depending on color. Today's Cast vinyls are even higher rated. Most Cast material is rated for 6-10 years.
Fluorescent colors are a different matter, however. They are not durable at all - they are generally rated for just 6 months of outdoor use. They will fade really fast regardless of brand - basically they loose their fluorescence and you will be left with a faded orange decal which will actually appear slightly darker than it originally did once it looses the fluorescence.
So, if you want an orange stripe, the best thing to do would be for me to send you the swatch book so that you can choose which shade and type of material you want.

Gary I`m in canada but would trust any thing you feel would be very close to the original unfaded orange ...providing you have some thing to reference ??? Thanks Scott

Re: 71 challenger Rt orange and lime stripes produced? - 06/22/12 05:38 PM
Based on these pics - those orange stripes are no longer fluorescent so it is really hard to tell what color would provide the best match.
Avery has a color called SC9169O Pantone 021 that looks like it may be the way to go. Or you may want to consider Oracal 951-035 Pastel Orange. It has about the highest wear rating possible at 10 years.
Either route you decide go, price would be $125. That's $75 for the stripes plus $50 for special order material (based on minimum I have to buy from my supplier).

As far as I know, none of the colors of Challenger stripes were reflective.

Re: 71 challenger Rt orange and lime stripes produced? - 06/23/12 10:27 PM
I thought they may have been based on Plymouth stripes of the era, like 71 RR roof stripes....
I bet it would look sweet.....

The '71 would look like that, but with different stripes.

Hey, does anyone have any pics of 70 RT Challengers that are GoMango orange with anything other than your black logitudinal stripes. I would like to go either white, white bumblebee or some other color that could have been used in either Longitudinal or Bumblebee.

I know you asked for Gomango and white, but here is ev2 hemi orange with white bee stripe. Took a little work to match the original 70'dirty white color.

I love that gomango challenger with the yellow tail stripe.I wonder how that would look without the se rear trim panel. It would be orange in the back.

There was a 70 R/T Challenger U code in Las Vegas when I was 16 in a wrecking yard. I didn't write any codes down, but it would have been FJ5 H6X9 V9Y V21 V3W. Way too many colors on 1 car for me, but it certainly was unique. I should have bought it looking back on it now. Factory air, power windows, and cruise control (turn signal lever was still in it).

The one in the wrecking yard wasn't that shiny, but same paint color. Looks pretty good with the black vinyl top, not so much with a white one. Thanks for posting the pic.
