'Sport Stripes' ... finally found them

ec_co · January 13, 2025, 02:15:46 PM

My dad's Barracuda has always had these on since I can remember and I like the look so for over 10 years I've been searching off and on to find the source of these as no one seemed to identify them and they definitely aren't factory or dealership from what I can tell. My paint guy messaged me this morning and randomly happened to find it, crazy how sometimes these things work out at *just* the right time

Very cool!

I remember seeing those way back when. Glad you found them.

That's really cool.

cuda hunter · January 14, 2025, 04:38:47 PM

I really like that. Where did you find it for sale?

Cool stuff!

Looks like he has one Dodge one left and a Mustang one

Maybe I should have the Plymouth one reproduced since they are long out of production? They originally came in at least three colors - black, white and red that I know of.

I have seen this stripe on A body barracuda's and really like how it makes them look. I've never seen this for sale.
Perhaps have the guy who makes the stickers reproduce it.
Is it Gary?

I'd be willing to throw in with you on that one.

I don't have a person yet, but my body guy knows somebody that I could chat with. Either way I think I'm going to go ahead and do it, these are cool enough to get them redone. I went ahead and ordered the Dodge one also, in for a penny in for a pound.

I expect that if you went to a sign shop that they could make them. They just have to copy and print.

I'm so mad right now. FedEx said it was delivered, but not to me apparently. Apparently the guy put the wrong address on it, so there's a possibility it may be gone. Pray for me!

blown motor · January 16, 2025, 08:33:50 AM

Can you not go to the address that he put on it and ask about it?

They won't give me the address for privacy reasons, which I totally understand and can't fault them for. The seller already refunded me the money and they said they're opening an investigation. Hopefully it makes it back to them and I can rebuy it

I remember seeing these on cars way back when. Kinda cool. Sorry to hear they mis-shipped them and you lost them.

If you had access to the Mopar script, you could have a sign shop reproduce them in modern vinyl.

My plan was totally to reproduce them using that one as a template. Oh well, maybe they'll end up back with the original seller. I'm still going to talk to a vinyl guy and see if he can reproduce them for me though based on my photos
