Add 22" wheels with low profile tires, some red plug wires, chrome every bolt-on item, paint it "graphite" flat black and you'll get an extra hundred G's for it.

I'm in the same boat as you Charley. My car was originally stripe delete. I'm second owner and car retains its original paint. I've thought about it numerous times to remove the stripes but don't want to get into the original paint. It's a tough call to make.

Lot 1300.1 Blue LS6 just went for 286K with the juice. Time to send the black one to auction Charlie.

Stripes and all.

Personally I agree with leaving it and letting the next owner decide what they want done....it is all original and whatever the Dealership did back in the day is part of the pedigree....if you had documentation for this, that would be even better!

Anyone looking to buy a car like this would be a fool to scoff at the stripes....it is what it is!

Unless I’m mistaken, it was a previous owner “dealer” that added the stripes, long after the car was deemed basically a Time Capsule car.
