Can someone tell me the full option code for these tires on my window sticker? The car is a 1969 GTX. Thanks for any help!

Those tires on a 69 rr wereT82, Goodyear white streak F70-14.
I would assume the same tires on a 69 GTX would be the same code.

In an effort not to add another post, does anyone also know the full option code for the "Sport Stripes - Red" option above? It ends with "R". Thanks!

Stripes on a 69 rr would be V6? or V7? (Last digit is color). I think the GTX stripe is V8?, so V8R for your red stripe. 8R is possibly on your fender tag.

Naw, the V8 is transverse stripes, tail stripes.
V6 is longitudinal.

Here is what he is looking at. Lynch Road drops the V and just has 6R on the tag.

You are correct. My fender tag shows the stripe code 6R. So the code on the window sticker would be the V6R - got it.

What was confusing me, was the option code listings on the Internet showed the V6R as a “longitudinal stripe”, and the description on the window sticker said “sports stripe”. I wasn’t sure it was the same thing. Thanks for the help.
