Could a '71 GTX (non AG.) have hood depresson pinstripes and the hood to fender stripes from the factory? :beer:

V8X hood stripes on a 1971 GTX
I don't think you could get the V21 hood insert stripes on a 1971 GTX

Yes on both accounts. If the car was optioned for V8 and V21, the hood to fender stripes were applied first and the V21 pinstripes placed on top.

Most 71 gtxs are optioned for v21.

Interesting, that seems like an odd combo to me. Now for the ultimate follow up - does anybody have a picture???
