I have never sent off for the build sheet since it was so original. The stripe was added witch I can tell by looking. The emblems on a factory stripe car set back further towards the edge of fender. They look good on these cars whether they had them from the factory or not. I have added a few through the years. These are painted on.

EDIT: Whoops, just noticed -- that number only works in Canada. Try 905-644-3387.

X2. That's why I asked. Really curious but since in the case Randy seems to be almost sure they aren't original so it won't really help. But I'm with him... original or not, I think they look nice.

Oh got docs from GM of canada and it was a original fender stripe car,was special ordered white,blue int and red fender stripe! Looks like canadian built cars with fender stripe didn't move emblems back. Thought I would share info. Thanks,Randy.

Randy,
Would you scan and post the GM of Canada Docs and post a pic of the cowl tag too? Feel free to black out the VIN. With so few documented 68-69's it's always interesting to see how they were ordered. The Oshawa cowl tags had a lot more info too
#13
Wow, that might solve a long debate from about all this. Definitely please post documents if you can. Red, white, and blue combo... very unique and strange... especially for a Canadian car.

I've got my 68 442 on the market and I was looking around at what others were going for to get a fair price and it looks like this one popped up on Craigslist again. This time it was posted with the option code documentation. Don't see the W-36 stripe options added so again, doesn't look like the Canadian built cars had the stripes in a different place.

Hello I am the guy that has owned it twice. Sold it to the guy that has it on craigslist. I have copies of the docs on this car. There was a stripe option on Canadian built cars,they did not move the emblems. This car originally had a Red Stripe and is documented on docs. I do not have a way to scan,but when I get some time I will take a picts of it. I am in the middle of Drag Boat season and my business and have very little free time. Thank you for your interest,Randy

per the documentation it appears:
this Canada produced 442 for US sale was white w/red "GT" stripes to match the red stripe F70-14 tires on SSI wheels (w/the blue bench seat interior)
what's with the claim of the original spare? what size/brand/style of tire is that & it's on a SSII wheel??
