Those great 1970 V code Chargers

[Ghoste]

I thought you could get those on any of the 70's?

[70 Charger RT]

Those Longitudinal pin stripes indicate your car as six pack 

NOT to cause a stir but...
My 70 RT came with Longitudinal stripes (rare blue) and was a U code 440.  I still have the build sheet.

R/Ts.

Longitudinal stripes were standard on 70 R/Ts however you could choose the following options....stripe delete or go for the bumblebee stripe. The longitudinal stripes have no relationship to 6 packs specifically.

The 2 known pack pack cars in my town had them .Though it was six pack designation

[Dodge Don]

Nope

My unclaimed V code 70 Charger buildsheet is V68.
Is there any known percentage of how many V code cars got the rump stripe or the pinstripe

[FC7 V code]

According to the 1970 Charger registry  49.1% of Charger RT's came with the Longitudinal stripes, 20.1% were stripe delete and 30.6% had the bumblebee stripe. That comes up to a little less than 100% which no doubt leaves a few that are unaccounted for or unknown. I don't have a clue if that is just RT's in the registry or if it includes all RT's ever made. By the size of the numbers in the registry option codes list, it would appear to cover all RT's from 70. I would imagine you could apply those numbers to V-codes and come up with a fairly accurate idea as to how many of each variations were produced, at least in the area of +/-10% or so. The one I have has the bumblebee. A friend has one that is coded for the Longitudinal stripes. Oddly enough the bumblebee is the one I best remember from the 70's even though the registry numbers point to a significantly higher percentage of cars with the Longitudinal stripes. I don't recall ever seeing a stripe delete "back in the day" even though it looks like they weren't all that uncommon. I would guess that the V21 or V24 performance hood treatment probably would be really a rare option on a V-code as it looks to have been very uncommon on any RT.

Interesting statistics no matter where they were culled from.

Interesting statistics no matter where they were culled from.

They are from Chrysler's own internal SG-30 Sales Reports. This is the same info Galen "sells" to you.

[Ghoste]

Are those reports available somewhere outside of old issues of Wards?

[Dodge Don]

Not sure. All I can say is there is someone in Canada that has an actual copy and I've seen the 70 Charger portion and it validates the data Galen used to use in creating and selling option data packs for specific models/years. Doesn't look like he sells these anymore.

[Ghoste]

Not openly I can't imagine anyway.  Don't want the market getting saturated with knowledge after all.
