He wrote an editorial about the difficulty he had ordering what he wanted: black, no D90 stripe. Chevy refused and it was delivered with the striping. He later removed the striping. Vintage pics show it both ways.

one of my best friends has a 69 ss 396/375 conv red with red houndstooth and is a "stripe delete" car. its still original paint and he has had it since we were young.

Could you mean Orange Houndstooth?
I've never seen or heard of a red one.

I’ve heard of a red houndstooth car.

I just asked him to shoot a picture and he corrected me. this one has red deluxe comfort weave. one he used to have (not a big block car) had the red houndstooth. sorry for the mixup on this car. but it is a stripe delete car.
