Re: Black Paint on a 1970 Elky SS?
The owner who got the ELC in orignal paint says it came with cowl hood and not stripes. No indication it ever had stripes. He has POP to confrin SS396.
Only explanation is the stripe delete. Why else would they not use the 19 19 code?
According to info posted here by JM of PHS, stripe deleted would need F&SO approval so it could be without that paint code, stripes would have been a forced option. Its a June 1970 build.
I don't know, just speculating why and thats the only thing I can imagine..
btw-It has a black vinyl top

I think it was a stripe delete car, because there is absolutely no evidence of stripes having ever been on it. Usually when a car gets repainted, they will miss something. I checked the cowl flapper closely, and there should be some white paint on it somewhere if it had a stripe, but there's not a trace.
It's a June 1970 car, sold locally in August 1970.
