1969 RPO DX1 Hood Stripes

[77Z28]

I have always wanted to know what the story was behind the seldom seen RPO DX1 Stripe option. The following 1969 RS Camaro on ebay add has these original stripes, but missing on hood due to replacement.

I aways wandered why this stripe option never took off. I know y'all in the know will educate me. So have at it. Thanks,

I just don't get how you can say "THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL UN-RESTORED CAR" when it has has one repaint and that stupid caution fan sticker found it's way on the fan shroud!

Doesn't "unrestored" mean just that, including no repaint?? I think so.

Two of my 69's have the DX1 stripe option. I have seen this particular stripe on Sport Coupe's, RS's, a couple of SS's (hockey stick exempt), and even a COPO 9561. There were just over 20,000 69 Camaro's with this stripe option originally. I would guess that over the years when many of the 69's were re-painted, this stripe was not put back on. Back in the day, alot of people weren't too concerned about stripe correctness.
