Hope the paint stays on if someone tries to change the stripes!

I'm looking for 9F02M480004. Have you seen it?

Talked to Roland a few minutes ago and he reminded me the car was red with gold stripes when he bought it in 1981.
Originally, it was owned by a Swedish Rock Singer of Turkish descent who painted it red with painted gold stripes.
Probably the stripe kits weren't available in Sweden
When Roland restored the car, he hand scraped off all the old paint and he is 100% sure the stripes on the
Gulfstream Aqua layer was white. He said he checked and double checked it.

All I can say is that a lot could have happened between 1969 and 1981.

instead of debating you on stripe colors I'll just link you to Pate's site and from documentation he has each car color stripes and only 1 stripe color per car's color.   https://www.thecoralsnake.com/1969paint.html

I found the for-sale ad of #1205 in The Shelby American #58 Asking price was $62500 and I scanned the picture but for some strange reasons I can't post it here. The picture is in black and white, but the stripes look to be white but as Bob said a lot of things may have happened between 1969 and 1980's regarding this car as well.
