LS-6 without stripes per build sheet is this odd
 
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.

With so much talk about 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]If all of the 1970 Chevelle SS owners on this site were at the Chevrolet dealership in 1969 with unlimited funds to either &quot;BUY&quot; or &quot;ORDER&quot; a 1970 Chevelle SS...what options would you all get? I don't know if it matters what time of the year to buy or order due to certain options that came out that year.

What would you get? What color interior/exterior combo's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]
