Yenko Chevelle stripe colors

[sixtiesmuscle]

Is anyone aware of any red Chevelles that received black stripes, or, if they were even available on red cars?

I have not seen one but there may have been a Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle with black stripes. It appears that almost any combination of stripe color was used. There have been Yenkos found with combinations of dark color with black stripe and light color with white stripe. Examples are Fathom Green with black stripes and Daytona Yellow with white stripes.

Look for the stripe evidence behind fenders and doors or at the rear of the hood. Yenko often wrapped the stipes around these areas. Black would look strong on Garnet Red. All the red Chevelles I have seen have not been the right color of red and have had white stripes...BKH

Thanks guys, I agree. Brian, why does there seem to be such a problem getting Garnet Red correct??

Mike;
I don't know what the difficulty seems to be with Garnet Red, but most of them appear to be too 'red' instead of maroon. I think Holub's '69 G-Red Yenko Nova is the correct shade, (not the tailight panel though), not sure on the two ZL1's.

I also found Yenko stripe remnants on my Douglass Yenko Copo inside the doors, on the forward part, toward the front fender.
