Hello from Oklahoma

Welcome! I like the stripe! Yours is slightly different from the one on the red car. Look at the area around the handle and also the last stripe is triangular on your car and non-existent on the red car's passenger side. The stripe spacing also looks different on the red car.

The driver's side on the red car has the last triangle stripe :huh: Maybe the intallers messed up or the decal came off. The handles also look the same to me. I was thinking... maybe the company who installs the factory decals are the same peeps that installed these. Very similar decaling to the Mexican Shelby GT-351

i owned a 71 mach 1 in 1984 that had the same stripe. i was wondering if it was a stock stripe, your car is helping me to decide if im going to put this stripe on my current 71. my stripe was not painted on, it was a decal. car was originally bought from van boxtel ford in green bay, wi. as far as i know, this is the stripe it came with.

Hi and ::welcome:: from Luxembourg, Europe!

Cool stripe job. I have seen some pics on the internet in the past but I thought the stripes were put on by the owner. Seems like that was factory installed after all.

It´s Interesting how suddenly those other pics show up.

We learn something new every day.

Interesting picture from 1971 Mexico City Auto Show.

Striping seems very similar to the stripes's on DWhitaker's wife's car.







Looks like Chelby Mexico display. Notice the Motor Wheel "Spyder' wheels on the hardtop. And check out that crazy set of hardtop louvers.
