1970 Dearborn CJ Shaker Hood Stripes
Bill Hamilton:
I've had two 1970's with Shaker Hoods and stripes. One I still own (repainted, never restored) is a 1970 Mach 1 with 351 M-Code and the build date was 10/14/69. It has the solid black stripe and built in New Jersey. The other was a 1970 428 R-Code with a build date of 11/05/69 and built in Dearborn with the solid hood stripe. Neither car had the "351" or "428" call-out numbers in the stripe.
I also had a cousin who returned from Vietnam in the fall of 1969 and purchsed a new 1970 M-Code Shaker Mach 1 off the dealers lot with the solid stripe, no numbers.
I was going to college back then and had a new 1970 Grabber Mustang (F-Code, no hood stripe). I was a big 1970 fan and looked at all of them I saw back then. I really don't remember seeing the call-out numbers in the hood stripes back then. In the years since it seems like most Mach 1's I see at cruises and shows have the numbers in the stripes. I like the look, just don't remember seeing them like that in the fall of 1969 when the 70's came out.

Yes that seems to be the issue, that it depends allot of when and where the car was built as to how the stripes were made and which were supplied and installed. The OP was looking for examples of every early Dearborn examples making it more of a challenge over a year ago.
Guess as we get to starting a main thread focusing on running changes like we have for the early years this subject will need to be one of those if not before as a stand alone thread.

Thanks, Jeff. I looked at the links to the 428 Cobra Jet site and didn't remember being involved in that discussion 7 years ago. (LOL) Old age is getting me quicker than I thought. ;)
