My 71 Challenger, that was a JH23 car, came from the factory with white side stripes without the R/T lettering. The code for the stripes was V6W, on both fender tag and broadcast sheet. My reference book shows V9W, as the code for the white stripes with the R/T lettering. I don’t know what V7 is.. It may have been a body side pin stripe.

The description of the A62-Rallye Dash is also inaccurate.

How about that!
Thanks!
well, he’s referring to the V6X code, which for a non R/T car would be the solid stripes with no R/T lettering. Same JH prefix, I don’t think it matters if it’s a convertible or hardtop, it’s a non-R/T stripe.

Convertible, coupe or hardtop makes no difference. Same stripes and codes apply. I see the Lembeck, unrestored 71 Hemi Challenger (that sold this year at Mecum) has a V6X stripe code. That tells me the V6 stripes had R/T lettering on JS cars and no R/T lettering on JH cars.
My car was also GB5, as you can see from its fender tag. I say was, as I no longer own it. Second owner, who I bought it from, had the exterior repainted (not the original color, but Specter Metallic Blue) and changed the stripes to black. They probably didn’t have a stripe kit back in 84 when it was painted, the newly painted stripes were kinda wavy and too thick. I remember getting comments like “whoever painted your stripes must’ve been drunk..”.
Remnants of the original white stripes were still on the inside edges of the car when I had it.
I’m quite sure now that V7 is an accent pin stripe.
