Rallye stripe on my car

[Nacho-RT74]

Since right now the phasered rallye stripes are being reproduced, and my car is/was being rebuilt with stock/factory appearence ( except on interior and maybe some Keystone wheels soon ) will like to heard opinions. Keep white or change to Red/Yellow phasered stripe.

Both options are reflective

Red/Yellow 

[Nacho-RT74]

I could also make or send to make the brown/tan stripe since I got a NOS one ( but only door section )... enough to take sample

[Charger1973]

I like the red/yellow because that was the one that was originally on the car, and you never see them anymore.  It would really stand out.

Was it originally blue? I'm having a hard time picturing what a blue car with a red and yellow stripe would look like.

It is a beautiful car either way.

[Ghoste]

I think I've mentioned before how much I like your car with the stripe that is on it right now.

[wjmopar]

Definitely the red & yellow.

Nacho, looking for the brown\tan one send me an email

[TUFCAT]

greatwn73 , I don't think there is an alternative color such as a tan/brown phaser "or laser" stripe on the '73 -'74 rallyes.  In my opinion, I belive there is only two colors: the red/orange/yellow, black, (white like nacho has is rare). The red/orange/yellow would have been available as a choice on most most all of the exterior colors, or black. Additionally, the red/orange/yellow could have been superceded by black or white (as the only choices) on just a a few of the exterior exterior colors (like dark green for example) .

WOW  !! There is a gold graduated (V6) stripe - - Very good info.... That's why you're the resident 3rd generation Charger Guru    thanks.

[Charger1973]

No im just the resident freak LOL.  I just like to learn everything I can about my car

brown/tan pics... some more sunfaded some other not that much.

[Nacho-RT74]

of course we are clear about the red/yellow:

[TUFCAT]

Not bad for a dude who wasn't  born when 3rd generations were out prowling the roads  Hell, I was born in 1967 and I can barely  remember all the details of the 73 and 74 models when they were new. I used to see them at the local dealerships while killin' time with the old man.     For the record, the gold stripes are cool.    

[Nacho-RT74]

now ppl, let's see who is able to decode or give a name to these ones one EVEN WITH DECK LID STRIPE:

first one PROBABLY also lot faded brown/tan, but deck lid strip makes me doub about that. As far I know no deck lid &/or bulgeds black outs on phasered stripes

Note: notice the second one 

[Nacho-RT74]

Only have the last one fender tag and a close up to let you see IS NO SIMPLY BLACK:


Code... V6K 

of course, Charger1973 posted 73 info, and that one is 74.

Bronze SE with that weird setup is also 74... shoulder retractor belt is visible on interior

[Nacho-RT74]

AAAND we have this that even they are available as repro, I HAD IN MY HANDS ONCE  solid red stripe with the thin stripe around in black... YES, SOLID RED NOT REFLECTIVE AND STILL ON ORIGINAL MOPAR BOX

[Nacho-RT74]

ALSO MY 74 CATALOG states Copper, Gold and Red stripes,all phasered,  and phoenixgraphics confirm it:






Maybe the Black/Red is the copper one

I think Charger1973 posted the 1974 info not 1973.....

How about these strobe stripes? They were dealer over the counter items but I kind of like them

  The info is from the 74 book. 

[Nacho-RT74]

even more weird then...

Yes I saw on a dealer book that same pic... not the car of course.

I DON'T LIKE IT

[Alaskan_TA]

I got these from a pal;

[Alaskan_TA]

He found this brochure at Carlisle as well;

[Nacho-RT74]

MAN!!! THAT WAS A GREAT INFO !!!!

So the one that I have is standart for SPRING SPECIALS ?  VERY INTERESTING...

Even more interesting, gradated stripes are optional for ALL models, however is stated Black on RALLYES.

I think on manual parts catalog the parchment/brown is stated like COPPER.

[400/6/PAC]

Nacho
Your car looks great.
Let us know what you decide to do.

[Nacho-RT74]

probably will go with red/yellow, but will be on a nex body job, maybe next year... I'm trying to get new GOOD MADE quarter panels.

[Charger1973]

Thanks for the stripe info Barry.   

[Alaskan_TA]

My pleasure, that came from kissalien on Moparts.

If anyone has any information on the Spring Special package mentioned he and I would both love to know what it included.

I second the thanks Barry!!!! I am going to order the Cooper stripe because I figured it was the new term for the parchment stripe. Now you confirmed it!!  A BIG thanks Barry!!


Nacho, go with the Parchment(Cooper) stripe. That way, you can be the ginny pig. 

[Alaskan_TA]

Thanks Nacho,
Interesting reading. 

Ken sent me two more vintage photos today to post here for you guys;

[Nacho-RT74]

is the same car on both ? top pic looks copper and bottom looks gold... but could it be reflection effect

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Wow,
Thse pic's are sweet. I guess you could get a Rally stripe on an SE.

[bordin34]

Was it uncommon for a 74 SE not to have a stripe?

[Nacho-RT74]

was and it is uncommon a rallye stripe on SE. I think I have seen 3 or 4 on the net in 7 years.

I mean original from factory... actually there is more, but just added on some resto, by owner.

[Alaskan_TA]

Yes, same car. 

[bordin34]

I mean was it uncommon for a 74 SE not to have that pinstripe that follows the upper body line.

[Nacho-RT74]

Once again thinking on this... lets revive the poll once again:



or

[Nacho-RT74]

the only basic diff from factory look ( beside accesories added ) is, my car was originally blue interior and now is white.

[JB400]

Stick with the white stripe

[Ghoste]

I agree.  The laser works well with certain colors but overall on your I like the white.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Of the two pictured I think I prefer the laser stripe. But in all honesty I think your car would look better without either.

[ACUDANUT]

None. I would sell the 73/74 and buy a 71/72.
You know I love you Nacho. 

[Nacho-RT74]

here is a pic of my car back in 97 recently bought... still with the stripe

[Nacho-RT74]

I think on the blue petty sample the red shadow is wrong... should be more bloody, like the yellow one

[Tilar]

To be honest, I like it the way it is.

[thrillbilly]

If my car was a different color, I'd have the red/gold in a heartbeat.

[ACUDANUT]

To be honest, I like it the way it is.

Me too. Leave it White.

[Chargerguy74]

I think the white stripe looks great. Personally, I'd go back to the V6R, but that's just me. Do what you prefer, it's just a decal.

[Nacho-RT74]

not just a decal.. is $300 decal, agains a white decal I can make locally ( like already did ) in a 1/4 of that, maybe less... I have been allways with the red/yellow stripe idea, but not if is not correct:

[ODZKing]

White top, white stripe IMHO.
Take a look at this one in contrast:

[Nacho-RT74]

Venezuelan 73s brochure got that combo ( without bulged hood )

This one specifically was red soft interior and black plastics... a friend of mine had one

Interesting. Either way, I'm not a fan

[Nacho-RT74]

If Phoenix Graphics crew can make the correction of the red shade like this



against this which seems to be their repro:



I'll go with the red/yellow

I think the diff is noticeable even in their ad, and is not just a light or optical effect... the red shade affects also the yellow shade
