Exactly what the default stripe color was with Burgundy isn't clear from the Color Accents Chart. As noted, a few 67 67 cars have been found with red per the chart but most have white. It has been stated that interior color was not a factor but a few combos have a footnote based on interior color: the default stripe for 10 10 is stated to be white unless it has a black interior, then red. 69 69 cars had black stripes unless a red interior was specified; then red stripes. Assuming the JL8 car below was correctly restored, it may be that it received white stripes because of the white interior. I have never seen a revised chart; it always incorrectly listed black stripes for 71 71 cars.

The RED stripe with 10 10 -black interior did not apply to Z28, CORRECT?
Or let me ask Has there ever been an original black Z found with RED stripes?

Bill if your car had a black roof I will bet it would have had RED stripes, there is really nothing odd regarding red stripes with a black roof, a black SS with a black Vtop got RED stripes as well. 

I WISH a BLACK Z with a BLACK interior got RED STRIPES!!!!

Well who knows. The chart heading states: Sport Striping [RPO D90]  Front Accent Striping [RPO DX1] Fender Striping [RPO D96]. Why wouldn't it apply to Z/28?

I know of three Z/28s special ordered with non-normative stripe color: 69 69 with white, 71 71 with black, 72 72 with black. All have confirming docs. I think the silver Z did not have a special paint code. Also vaguely recall a 57 57 Z with black stripes but no proof it was built that way.

I would like to have a gold white stripe or  silver white stripe Z... Actually Black with bright Blue stripes would be my preference.

There's only the one burgundy Z with red stripes.
I have watched for years for evidence that any other burgundy Z had red stripes. Several original paint cars have showed up - white stripes. I'm not convinced there was red stripes on this car - that red on the trunk lip seems to be on top of the white.

But it sure looks good.

White stripes on a burgundy car makes 10 times more sense than red stripes.

BTW-there is a guy with project 69 Z/28 on FB and from the pics it looks to be burgundy with red stripes. major project though. I will see if he can send me a pic

I just wanted to throw this out there.  I don't know if these cars originally came from the factory painted like this but I have seen in the past in my local area a '69Z, black with red stripes; from what I remember the interior was black.  The other car, which I think had a better chance of being painted like it came from the factory, was a '69 SS L89 convertible in burgundy with red hockey stick stripes and black top.  I think it had a black interior also.

Sold for $56.5k. Seems like a pretty good deal for a fun driver.
