I'm planning to place a set of Scat Pack decals in the rear quarter windows of my 70 Challenger.
Which would be correct for 1970 models?  or . . .  Where both used?

Bottom one is correct for 1/4 windows.  Top one was never used as original equipment. 

There are lots of repros out there.  If originality is important to you, you'll probably be happier with these:

Thanks Floyd . . . .  Related question   :andyangel:

Was there any particular area of placement that would be considered "more" correct then others?
As in . . .  upper /  lower / right or left

Rear corner of the 1/4 window.  The original decals were affixed to backing paper that was cut to fit the space, which aided in placement.  Not sure if any repros have that feature.

Wow !! . . . . more then I was hoping for

Here's what was throwing me, and why I asked the question . . .  this genuine 1970 "join club" magazine ad shows the other version??

There are several versions of the Bee that were used in print advertising but the 1/4 window one above was the only thing used on the cars.

Just came across this thread. Looks like my original scatpack decals are atypical. Anyone else have this version?

are those stuck on the inside or outside?  looks like the BEE from the center of a Super Bee bumblebee stripe / are they reflective?

is your car "STRIPE DELETE"?

My 70 Challenger I was told and I believe the decals on my rear 1/4 windows and those that Floyd shows from ECS.

I always suspected the decals came from the super bee parts bin.

My car is stripe delete. The bees are on the outside of the glass and the airtemp decal is in the inside of the glass. The bees seem to be reflective, but after 50 years...

Yea, those are not factory "scatpack" bees, rather "Super bees"

My 70 U code Challenger has what I assume are the originals and I currently have the quarter glass removed. If you'd like, I can snap you some pics and get measurements tomorrow. I'll be a day older tomorrow, so remind me if I forget.

Do the new Scat Pack Challengers have a modern version of the quarter window decal ?

I figure the assembly line ran out of the correct decals and grabbed the super bees, or one of those Friday night specials...

I know they came with the car as I have pictures of the car from the original owner when he purchased it.  They are in very good shape so I'm gonna leave them in place for posterity.

.....     :thinking:     .....  "stripe DELETE" = NO BEES  (& HAMTRAMCK won't have any SUPER BEEs in house - or is the car from LA?)

more like when the ordered car showed up at the dealership without window Bees  - the dealership put what they had in the parts room on it to satisfy the customer
