V21 Hood Stripe Question

[Russ69Runner]

Hey Guy's I thought that the black strip's on the hood indicated that the car was a 426 hemi or 440. Is that rite or did all runner's have the hood with black strip's. Yall know that I am doing a restore so what do you think. thanks Russ69runner

You REALLY need to use more descriptive titles.

I believe for a '69, code V21 Hood Performance Treatment defines whether there is the black stripes or not.

x2 the V21 performance hood graphics. was an option regardless of engine choice. I put mine on through a local sign company that does vinyl wraps. came out great and a fraction of what it would cost to paint the : cowl, 1/2 fenders, hood.

I concur with Ranger, more accurate titles would go a long way.

I prefer the stripes. I think if you like them go with them. If your car is a V21 optioned car then even better, but if it is not, and you like the stripes, then go for it!

I cannot find anything that states which car get the stripes or not. Big John would know, I believe all 69 Roadrunners had hood strips but I could be wrong. I attached the hood stripe specifications.

 

[Russ69Runner]

Hello Ranger. What is a more descriptive title. Would that be black stripe's on a non hemi car. I don't under stand.

 

[Russ69Runner]

Hello Captcolour mine has RM21 at the beginning of vin. Where do you get the V21 from.

 

[Russ69Runner]

Hey Djais1801 I saw your car pick's and the stripe's look grate thanks for the advice. I am going to repaint the hole car. So much restoration to do that I will probably strip the hole car in and out. Plus want to change the color. Really want to change blue from red. I don't have finder tag to find out what color the car was but under the red we have found yellow. They say the police don't like red or yellow. Well got to run thanks for the info your a grate help.

 

[Russ69Runner]

Thank you sir all the help would be appreciated from all of you Guy's. I don't have a finder tag so I am lost what all the car came with. It got lost when the previous owner was restoring it. It was striped of a lot of thing's. Well Got to go so all help make's it easer for me See Ya.

The hood stripes were an option of a touch over $18. and change. The guy that ordered my hemi car new didn't opt for them. :yesnod:

 

[Don99Pablo]

Russ, a good title would be, "Question about hood stripes"

As for the V21 code, that would have been on the fender tag. Or you could see the option on the build sheet. If you don't have either, feel free to make the car what you want. Who cares if it came with them originally.

 

[captcolour]

Yes, V21 on the fender tag or build sheet. My stripes were included in the A14 special road runner spring package for $317. Included the vinyl roof, road wheels, belt moulding, the performance hood paint, sport stripe, sure grip differential, and the F70x14 tires.

Hello Ranger. What is a more descriptive title. Would that be black stripe's on a non hemi car. I don't under stand.

ALL of your threads have the same title. The tile should give the reader an idea of what the thread is about so he knows whether or not he in interested in opening it. A simple "Hood Stripes" would be a good title for this thread.

As mentioned, they where simply an option and did not identify any motor.

I edited the thread title on this one for you Russ. As mentioned several times in this thread, the group would like to have a more clear understanding of what the intended subject matter is to be...before the group goes completely off-topic as is standard practice around here...

 

[69hemibeep]

...before the group goes completely off-topic as is standard practice around here...

So why do we need a topic? I think Russ is on to something

 

[quikbird]

I agree, we aren't going there for a couple pages so might as well call it whatever.

 

[Roadcuda]

So why do we need a topic? I think Russ is on to something

Having the appropriate title would be that reminder of what the original title was once we get off topic and someone wanted to get back on topic. For whatever reason that they would want to do that" :groucho:

 

[djais1801]

I love this topic....ooh a turkey:CHASIN312::

 

[Big John]

Yep, stripes were optional... except you couldn't get the stripes on a 440 engine 1969 Roadrunner.

OK, do you know why?
