Here is the breakdown for the three choices of stripes for the 1970 Charger R/T

V6_ - Tape Stripe Longtitudinal: 49.3%

V8_ - Bumblebee Tape Stripe: 30.6%

V68 - Stripe Delete: 20.1%

9730 1970 Charger R/Ts were built in 1970.

Now . . . do some searching on the internet for the 1970 Charger R/T and you will see a whole different mix of the three options. IMO, they look like this:

V6_ = 5%

V8_ = 94%

V68 = 1%

From the first set of numbers the Long. Tape Stripes were more popular than the Bumble Bee stripes. But when these cars are restored, the BB stripe is clearly the choice. And I have seen very few 1970 Charger R/Ts with no stripes and there should be a lot of them . . . but there aren't.
