Now that would be awesome! Especially if you had proof!I have often heard that once the '70 models were introduced with them, some dealers painted them on the '69s they had left on the lot to help them sell... of course I have no proof.

I've never seen an original example but the AIM does list dimensions for twin stripes.

Sorry, I'll eat crow on this one, it was Paul Herd's book which has been proven to be fire-starter. I was going off memory and well you know.

If you look in the COPO & Dealer forum, the thread by Roger D about his 1969 Dick Harrell modified "427 Super Chevelle" that was sold thru Bill Allen Chevrolet in Kansas City - he has no surviving photos, but has sanded thru a repaint to show that it was originally sold in August of 1969 with paint stripes.
Dick Harrell Performance Center also had a paint shop on premises.
Here's a pic from the thread.

Someone must have wanted the black stripes on mine because I faintly remember my car before it went to the paint shop 18 years ago having stripes, the car was smacked on drivers side and had damage to the fender and front clip. I popped the trunk today and found treasures I completely forgot about. An SS grill completely decimated, a radiator, clutch and flywheel, all kinds of crap and the header that was replaced with the black stripes still on it. Obviously some guy probably had to have those stripes because they made the car go faster. I wish it was like that from the factory to give the car a little more of a unique identity. I do like the side stripes however.

Only question I have is were they dealer add on or painted on the assembly line?If you look in the COPO & Dealer forum, the thread by Roger D about his 1969 Dick Harrell modified "427 Super Chevelle" that was sold thru Bill Allen Chevrolet in Kansas City - he has no surviving photos, but has sanded thru a repaint to show that it was originally sold in August of 1969 with paint stripes.

My 69 has the SS side stripes. I personally think the hood stripes look goofy on the 69's even if you put a cowl hood on it. but the hood stripes on the power bulge hood looks goofy as all heck to me.
