It appears to have a laser stripe from a Ford Torino or Later Charger decal stripe

Dave,
the Torino stripe did not taper like that....at least for the 70-71 models.
I used to have a red 71 Torino GT with the fake mag hubcaps with a similar looking stripe.Also had a 429 Drag Pack Torino Cobra Jet.I know Ive seen that stripe before or something similar.The charger stripe looks like it to.And the Ranchero also reminds me of it

The 72 Gran Torino one looks the closest :2thumbs:
I took that picture and one or two more returning from a vacation after graduation from college (Texas A&M... GIG 'EM!). The picture was taken at a gas station on I-10, and the Superbird belonged to an employee (but he was running an errand, so I did not get a chance to talk to him).
I believe the stripe was an aftermarket item instead of a factory part from another brand of car... :shruggy:
