LT-1 Hood Decal Color

[Ernie F.]

Were there two variations of this decal.

I have Black and Silver(gray) but was there a black and white decal? Better yet and since I can't find my JG, can someone tell me what is judged correct.

Re: LT-1 Hood Decal Color

Stripes are sprayed either black or white according to exterior color. Hood stripes for 1970 are in two different sizes at the front of the hood. One inner stripe is 1/4 inch wide with a 1/8 inch space between the inner and outer stripe. The outer stripe is 1/8 inch wide. The last unequal hood stripe now known is on 1970 s/n 15,889 (July 18 build date). The first equal width hood stripe known is on 1970 s/n 16,448 (July 24 build date). From about this date through 1972, both inner and outer hood stripes are 1/8 inch wide with a 1/8 inch space between the two stripes. The following is the breakout of how each stripe was applied for the color of the car.

1970 White Stripe
974 Monza Red
975 Marlboro Maroon
976 Mulsanne Blue
979 Bridgehampton Blue
982 Donnybrooke Green
992 Laguna Gray
993 Corvette Bronze

1970 Black Stripe
972 Classic White
984 Daytona Yellow
986 Cortez Silver

1971 White Stripe
973 Mille Miglia Red
976 Mulsanne Blue
979 Bridgehampton Blue
988 Steel Cities Gray
983 Brands Hatch Green

1971 Black Stripe
905 Nevada Silver
912 Sunflower Yellow

987 Ontario Orange
989 War Bonnet Yellow

1972 White Stripe

988 Steel Cities Gray

1972 Black Stripe

924 Pewter Silver
972 Classic White

Hope this helps.

Re: LT-1 Hood Decal Color

Rick-

Thanks for all of that, but I'm referring to the actual LT-1 Decal itself (show below). Were there two variations? Or what is judged as correct?

I have a Black with Gray background NOS gm decal on my car, but I've got someone that said it should be black with a white line inside the boarder?

Re: LT-1 Hood Decal Color

From the current Judging Manual;
Early 1970s up to s/n 9590 have a silver background outlined in black. All others have a white background outlined in black.

Re: LT-1 Hood Decal Color

Thank you.. I'll make them both then. Funny both decals on both sides of my hood have the same flaw in the leg on the front top of the L
