68 Roadrunner side horizontal pin stripe

[Tim Carlig]

What is the exact width and location of the side horizontal pin stripe in relation to the top of the fender, quarter and door belt lines? I know there were five color options. Thanks in advance.

I bought a 68 Road Runner new and there was no side stripe on it.

I dont think 68 had a side stripe but the 69 has one like this

There were a lot of stripe options across the entire line up in '68. I think most were pin stripes that were painted on. But the wide "decal" stripe, shown above came out in '69.

The painted on pinstripe is what I’m talking about

Painted on pinstripes may have been dealer installed.

My 68 roadrunner (project car) has its original fender tag and apparently has the accent stripe option. So I was trying to research this awhile back. Apparently "accent stripes" and "sport stripes" are NOT the same thing. It might be that accent stripes were available in 68, and both accent and sport stripes were available in 69. But don't quote me, I'm a mopar NOOB. My understanding is that accent stripes are thin painted lines applied on the assembly line. Sport stripes may be thicker reflective stickers.

If found this to be helpful from a "sister" site -

Hopefully the link works - cheers.

Find the original Hot Rod Magazine test with Ronnie Sox driving the 68 Runner, that car has the pinstripe.
