1969 phase III Corvette

[Chevy454]

While doing research on our Vega, through vintage mags, articles, etc, we came to this conclusion. There is no one right way to do the stripes, as each car seems to be a little(sometimes a lot) different. Joel has been quoted a saying that several different body shops did the work and were not held to strict guidelines. Tom

69 Motion, my 69 motion vette is a Phase III with original headlites and rear glass also. As you probably know; the fastback rear glass and enclosed headlites was the GT version. (I always thought that the GT version looked like an overgrown Opel Kadett)Anyway I can try to measure my stripes and give you some type of guideline. Just as someone has already said though; most likely no two cars from Baldwin Motion were the same. Kevin

Here is a picture of another Phase III GT with a wide stripe over the gas tank area and around the tail section. This is the car with the Dodge filler cap that was mentioned here on another post. It is in process of restoration. I think most of the cars used the aftermarket filler cap made by Grant or somebody. The width of the stripe on the hood and roof should be pretty easy since it was about as wide as the scoop opening.

joe thank u for the pic, kevin if you could measure the strips that would be great also during conversation with the orig owner he said he ran blue streak tires in the rear was this a motion option or a owner option the owner memory isnt perfect thanks jeff

I picked up the Jan. '75 of Chevy Action this past Sat. at a swap meet. This issue has several pics of Motion Vettes, both Phase III cars and GT/Manta Ray models. If it would help I could try to post some pics here, there seems to be several different stripe variations. There is one vette without stripes, and another that is a turbocharged small block from a Newfoundland owner. Another ZL/X 454 conversion vette only has hood stripes, nothing over the roof or wrapped around the tail panel.

Some wild pics!!

Attached are two pics showing some different stripe designs, maybe they are different models, (Phase III vs. GT?) which would explain the different stripes?
