Also keep in mind that the SCCA Trans AM racing series was very popular back then and the Boss 302 won the championship in 1970 which probably also helped make that year the more memorable of the two. The car mags had lots of pictures of Parnelli Jones' and George Follmer's race cars. IMO that is why a lot of people were surprised and maybe a little disappointed when the 2012 cars came out with the 1969 style stripes instead of the 1970 style.
There was no surprise or disappointment on my part with the 2012 looking like the 1969 cars. It's exactly what I expected.

Actually you have to go back about another 60 years.

Just pain them all black !!! Like on the Vette, Lambo and Ferrari . The polished rims looks like white walls on a 62 pontiac catalina.
