C500 FOR SALE

[Charger_Fan]

I've acquired photos of Dana from the '70's when she was in her original paint and it's a white stripe........  She went through the ringer, that's for sure........

WOW! I didn't know your car was ever in that sort of shape! Here I had thought it led a pampered life.

Pampered life !!???  Hell, I've broken camshafts and driveshafts flogging on her........       I ENJOY my Chargers..... The same will be true for the Hemi car when it's done.. Granted, I may trailer her on long distance trips, but that's because I have a little baby.......  Sheetmetal has always been good on her though.........

To keep this thread from being moved into the eBay section (where 99% of threads about eBay auctions belong), I'll move it to the Aero Forum and merge it with the other thread.

Paul,

I don't think your car had the leather inserts from the factory. I only saw your car once in person. and that was right before your purchased it. If I'm not mistaken wasn't your car with a red stripe?

If the car hasn't been striped the easiest way to tell what stripe color it would have had, is to look at the rear bezel markers, from the inside of the trunk. There should be part of the stripe inside behind the bezels. Stripe should be cut in an X patern, to allow for the bezel to be mounted. Thus leaving the 4 flaps on the inside of the trunk. However if the car has been repainted or a new stripe added over the years its hard to tell.
For some reason I thought your car had a red stripe.

I would say what color are the bezels painted but in my opinion 80% of them are body color, so that wouldn't be any help either.

HEY!!!!  guess what, my stripe color was black    I checked for the stripe folded over in the marker light and sure enough there it was, black stripe material.  Which makes me happy because i wasnt too excited about putting a white stripe on if that were the case.  i think black looks much better.  Here are a couple pics of the material and one of my cars current condition for those of you following along at home.

   intresting ..  good find    . i never realised  until   recently  there would not of been any way to tell  what the original color a C500  stripe would be ,   

[69_500]

I'll make a note of the stripe color in my little notebook tonight then.

Congrats on the find. I knew there was a reason I thought it was a red stripe, as that is the stripe it has on it now.

The decal material on my original daytona was x cut.Then marker light was shoved in.Most likely done same way for the 69 500.As you found the evidence

[69_500]

Weren't all the R/T style stripes the same way? As far as the origional stripes go? No holes in the origional stripes for the marker lights, unlike the replacement stripes we now have?
