69 stripe on a 68

[grdprx]

I prefer the 69 stripe, has anyone ever seen a 69 stripe on a 68?  I only ask because I have a 68.

I prefer the 68 stripe on the 68, the 69 stripe will not center on the side marker, just looks wrong, my

That stripe is actually a 70 stripe...

The 69 stripe has the R/T cut out in it...

I know, but it gives him the actual size for a reference, do you have a picture of a 69 stripe on a 68 Chris?

I always kind of preferred the 68 stripe.  It seemed more in keeping with the "bumblebee" theme and I would have preferred it on the 69 and 70.  Can't say I have ever seen that either though.

No Dan I don't.... seems though most people that aren't "supposed" to have a stripe on the car opt for a 70 version because its plain.   Its also wider than the 69 stripe

Right on.  Thank you everyone for your 

I couldn't sleep last night, had Charger on the brain. I browsed through all the member's cars, I saw a couple 68's with the wide stripe.  I just have a thing for the wide stripe, looks bad a$$.

I did a 69 stripe on my 68, but the side lights were in the way a little of the r/t symbol. But still looks good.

[grdprx]

Sweet, do you have a picture by chance?

[440charger68]

yes, here it is.

[grdprx]

SWEET!

I just had a great idea, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea; but I'm gunna fill in the fender lights!  I've seen some examples and I like the way it looks along with my desire to have the 69 stripe, it'll work great!  Now I'm really stoked!

I would be one of those that wouldn't recommend that, but!  If your doing the 69 stripe on a 68 car, that would be the best way to go, actually a good idea.  Me, I like the 68 100% as a 68, and 69 100% as a 69.  The one thing I always think about is all those people that will say"  You know that's the wrong stripe for that year".  I know most people say who cares what others think, but I find it annoying. Something I will hear about my car is, "you know the stripe is supposed to follow the trunk edge bend, and why do you have the V88 chrome emblems on a stripe?, and how come the stripe is painted, they came as tape? yada yada yada.    It's your car, enjoy!

i'm thinkin of filling in my side marker lights & also shaving the drip rails on my 68... i think it looks cleaner!!!! although i do like the round marker lights!!! hahahaha
but i like the 68 stripe the best... and yes i'm w/ 1969chargerrtse... i like a 68.. to be a 68, and a 69 to be a 69!!!!
but just like he said it's YOUR car soooo enjoy it!! and remember... you can't please everybody!!!

[remta1]

sell your 68 and buy a 69 , problem solved , glad i could help , but seriously bumblebee stripe is awesome on 68 i would leave her as it is 

[grdprx]

Well, this gets into the debate of which year is best...  I am making a RT clone, so the car currently has no stripe.

I'm one of those who loved the Dukes, and thought it'd be a cool car to have.  That wasn't the only deciding factor though.  I didn't want to blend in with the Chevy's and I'd never own a Ford.  Chargers just look the BEST!

But, seeing the 69 without the bump guard; the grille on a 68 looked better.  Plus it was the right car, the right price and my wife said YES!  There ain't no thinking about that...  I jumped at the chance!

[Hemidog]

i'm gonna weld my markers shut, bit still go with a 68 stripe.

[Ghoste]

Really?  I always thought the little round light-up side markers were one of the coolest features about the 68. 

[Hemidog]

i suppose they look allright, if they are not pitted(which mine are)
i like the more cleaner look, like Mr.Angry.
