These are very simple graphics that should be a snap to re-create in vinyl…still, I don’t see this available out there as a kit.

My dad’s car did not come with this option but he has always liked them. The idea occurred to me that these stripes might make a good Christmas gift. I think he would enjoy a “temporary” installation rather than paint that doesn’t match the build sheet.

I’m pretty sure I can replicate them on my own if I have to but a kit that is professionally cut would save a lot of hassle.

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Just measure the width and go on-line find a graphics Co. that will sell a roll in what ever color you want !
 
The trick will be the trunk lid, the strip will roll over that angled edge and not be straight. Will need to be cur for the angle, a bit tricky.

they were painted from the factory so that’s why you don’t see a kit.
 
Check with Pheonix Graphics. We have a local guy who'll print out custom stripes and graphics for a reasonable price. I'll bet there's one near you. Gorgeous car!

This is exactly why I want a kit. I've applied simple stripes on two different cars now and they came out perfect but I was lucky to have precisely cut/measured kits to work with. Having to deal with a tricky angle would jeopardize the whole project.

Having the stripes actually painted on like they were on the factory stripe cars would be a lot more expensive and it would also be permanent...not preferable for a car that was just returned to its factory paint. :D

Thats a good thought. IfI do go through my local sign shop (who did a nice job with my autocross numbers/letters) I would still need to provide them the exact dimensions...I don't have a reference car to work from unfortunately.

The pic is just an example I found on the web with the optional stripes...but I agree about the looks! My pops' car is gold on black...He has had it since I was 3 years old so it's practically a family member. It's also absolutely my favorite car I've ever driven. That big block rumble is like nothing else. Even if it's not extremely quick by modern standards, the near-stock 440 is wonderful. The whole package just feels perfect in a way that's hard to identify. Not a coincidence that my screen name is my initials followed by the name of that car. :D
