For the few other guys interested in rare options etc...

And I thought black with black stripe was cool. This is even more subtle.

Nice rear quarters, what the hell happened to them? White stripe is subtle, but I'm not keen on white cars, it somehow bleaches out a cars lines....

Rare-ish.
There was no official 340 R/T in 1970 but this option was as close as you could get. Some (in particular the convertibles) even got the R/T badges even though these were JH cars and not JS models.

Yeah I see what you mean. I would still go for the matt black on black option myself. In particular on the T/A and AAR.
A black Bee stripe on a black car would not be possible because it is the same black shade I think?

Nice option,I guess that's factory paint,never been re painted?
Looks like someone's had some of those Bedford CF style flared arches on there.

You only got fast ratio steering as an option on the T/A as far as I know.
Which usually meant a longer pitman arm (with a stock length idler arm).
