Nope, stripes were optional as well on 73 sport coupe Z28s. 73 Type LT Z28s had no option for stripes and you could not get them from the factory.

Why was that? There was some trim as part of the Type LT that got in the way of the stripes?

Not sure why,I just know it is. The LT got no stripes or Z28 badges. The only thing that gave a clue that you have a Z28 with the LT package is the 15" wheels. The cowl tag is the only part of a TYPE LT Z28 that actually says Z28.

Here is a correct example of a factory Type LT Z28 with the RS package. This is the car Rick G built years ago.
