What Paint Would YOU Do?
ironically, a few months after i got my 68 Turbine Bronze, 340 4 sp Formula S fastback Barracuda in 1970, i took a hair dryer and removed the OEM factory black horizontal rally stripes from the fenders, doors and rear quarters. mopar at that time had gone to a "wrap around the *** end" type stripe on the Darts, Chargers and Super Bees and i liked that stripe. so i bought a "rally strip" kit (from NAPA, you could get them everywhere then) consisting of two small stripes and a large center strip and wrapped it around the trunk and both quarters of my Barracuda. i broke the strip in the middle of the quarter on both sides and "stenciled" in flat black "340". it actually looked pretty good and resembled the stripes of the Chargers, Super Bees and Darts. wrapping that stripe "around" the *** end of a 67-79 Barracuda breaks up the body lines somewhat - especially on the fastbacks. here are some pics of those strip styles.
