Thinking of taking stripe off.

I got this 72 a few months ago from a good friend. It’s a great car and lots of fun with the 440 of course! I am on the fence with the stripe. The friend I got it from put it on about 4 years ago. The car was hardly driven that year, then sat covered in his garage for 3 years due to a back injury until I got it. So there shouldn’t be any real fade to the paint. I don’t know if I should leave it off or put the correct style on it for the year. I don’t mind the ‘69 year stripe, but it just looks “off”. My buddy who built the car back about 17 years ago never had a stripe on it and I thought it looked good, but maybe too much green without it?

Raise the whole car up a little, think the springs and torsions have sagged a little over 30 years sitting a little low, especially with heavier 440/727 engine and accessory combo on there.

Then after you get the ride height evened out put on a set of period correct aluminum slots on there, available in 15" SBP now.

Yes, Stance, Wheels, and Tires, sets the look of the whole car. The stripe on the back will accent the whole package when all aspects are complimenting each other.

Instead of just focusing on the tail stripe when you walk up to the car.

Cool Car for sure !
