Default 1971 GTO convertable ralley stripes

Does anyone reproduce the 71 Vinyl Stripes ( code #614) or are they the Judge stripes without the Judge decals?
Thanks

The same thin "eyebrow" style stripes that we're used on the early '71 GT-37's were avail as the D98 stripe option on '71 GTO's and and all other '71 2 door Pontiac A body's through out the '71 model year. The thin "eyebrow" style '71 D98 stripes were avail in RED/BLACK or RED/WHiTE, depending on the original exterior color of the car. There was no color keying to interiors. Phoenix Graphics reproduced the thin "eyebrow" style '71 D98 stripes a few years ago.

The 3 color reflective '70-71 Judge stripes were only avail on GTO's with the Judge option. In 40 years, have yet to run across an original '71 GTO which originally came with the D98 stripe option and had the reflective Judge stripes AND, the car was not a Judge. Many sets of original Judge stripes and early repro's have been later installed on regular GTO's, etc, that's where bad info comes in.

In mid March of '71, the reflective sword style stripe was introduced for the '71 1/2 GT-37. Similar stripes were used on '72 LeMans and LeMans GT's. This style reflective stripe was not used on normal 2 door Pontiac A body's in late '71. One is starting to see the carlot builders installing sword style stripes on '71 LeMans, LeMans Sports, even GTO's. This style sword stripe was only avail during the '71 model year on the '71 1/2 GT-37's. Have several original doors and fenders off late '71 LeMans and T-37's, well after the sword style stripes were introduced on '71 1/2 GT-37's. The original Pontiac LeMans, that these fenders and doors came off of were originally ordered with the D98 stripe option and the thin red/black "eyebrow" stripes were what was factory installed.

Wow. You definitely know your stuff. I will try to contact Phoenix for the original strips.
Thanks.

There was a member here who found a 71 GTO vert with factory D98's. Maybe we'll see some pics !

Am very happy PG makes the '71 thin "eyebrow" stripes, they have been needed for decades.

Do wish PG would get the application correct. No reflective sword style stripes on any '71's exc for '71 1/2 GT-37s. The reflective sword style stripes without cutouts in the fender stripes did not appear as the LeMans D98 stripe until '72 models were introduced.
