I recently bought back an LS-6 that I used to own and while re-acquainting myself with build sheet I noticed it does not have the D88 stripe option. Was this common? It's code 48 jade green dk green interior. Since it's documented it will be re-done per the build sheet. Just don't recall seeing an LS-6 car without stripes. Any thoughts?

There are many that came w/o stripes originally,but you'd never know it,because everyone throws them on while restoring regardless.
1970 Super sports came automatically with the std. bulge hood,and D-88 band aid stripes & hood pins were not included with that. A buyer had to pay extra to add D-88 factory stripes to it. 1970 optional ZL-2 working flapper hood Chevelles' got the stripes & pins automatically included,unless the buyer opted to delete the stripes. I commend you for not putting stripes on it,as most cars with em today,never had em in the first place. I see yours came with an open element air cleaner too,so don't put a dual on saying it came with one,as some open element LS-6 owners do. Nicely optioned Chevelle. |

A lot of guys call these cars stripe delete [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]
It was standard to get the car without the stripes and a domed hood with no hood pins. Anything on top of that was an option [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I agree with everything Mr.70 says above and restore the car exactly how it was built. Color is called Forest Green. Show us picks when you are all done. Here is a photo i had in my files, not Green interior but close to what your car should look like when done. I only had a back shot though.

----My buddy, Bobs LS6 is my favorite as it is shadow grey with white gut and white stripes. Actually not quite shadow grey as the dark grey on his car was special ordered, but you get the picture. As far as options,,,Either stuff the car with them or just get the basics. One or the other for me!!!!!
----Oh,,,And Id take that in a 'vert with a white lid, please......Bill S |
