What's the opinion of the forum.
Is it 'acceptable' to put GT-350 rocker stripes on a Coupe?

If you like it do it.

Its your car, and personalizing it is whats its about, make it yours.

But yea, I think it would look pretty cool.

If you do, make sure you eliminate the rocker trim. It gets a little "busy" down there if you leave it on and just slap on the stripes.

I like the stripe, just not the "GT 350" part. If it just said "GT" I'd be more for it.

Anyone know how the "350" name got on there?

Carrol Shelby had something to do with it, now what exactly was it......?

the 350 came from the fact it was 350 feet from the office to the shop where the cars were assembled. Had nothing to do with horsepower, cubic inches etc.

Yup. I think his famous quote is: "...If the car's any good, it won't matter what you call it and if it's not, the name won't sell it..."

I've seen quite a few, and they fit very well on the Coupe.

Have you given any thought to doing a Terilingua coupe?
Not as many done like this, and it has some neat unique features. Here is one that Dallas Mustang did:

I like them on a coup, you could leave the GT 350 out and do a solid stripe or run the factory GT stripes. They are thinner and look a little cleaner to me.

I ran the "GT" stripe on my coupe and really liked it. I have put a couple beofre and after shot of it along with a few of my different setups of how the car looked through the years. I hope this helps!

The Day I bought it circa 2005:


Spring 2006

2008 acquisition of 408w

How the car sat in 2009-2011 until I sold it.

You could customize the "GT350" part to say whatever you wanted it to...if you are worried about that. I plan on putting some silver ones on my black coupe that say "P-51" kind of a nod to the plane. There is nothing about my car that is cobra, shelby, gt or anything, which means its alright to do whatever the heck I want to with it and have fun without pissing others off. (not that I really care what anyone else thinks of my ride) anyway, just my .02

If you must do a rocker stripe, do a solid one like 65coupe408w. I would not put GT350 stripes on anything except a Shelby or a well done Shelby clone. I still think the rocker molding looks better than any stripe.

Hey 65coupe408w, do you still have the Cragar SS wheels? Your car looks awesome with those. They are fitting for the teardrop hood.
