The wheel cover you refer to is Ford part number D0ZZ-1130-F, which was optional for the '70 Boss 302 Mustang. It required the '70 Boss 302 15x7-inch steel wheel, so it was indeed unique to the '70 Boss 302. The "Sport" wheel cover is indeed rare. The standard Boss 302 wheel was the 15-inch trim ring and hub cap, while the most popular optional wheel was the 15-inch Magnum 500.
GT StripesI recently imported to Australia a '67 Mustang GT hardtop, Lime Gold but without the stripes. I have purchased new white GT stripes, as all of the pictures I've seen of Lime Gold cars had white stripes. But upon closer inspection, I found a small patch of what I think is the original stripe on the back of the door, and it is black. My Marti Report does not mention stripe color. Can you tell me how to find out what color my stripes would have been originally?Nick from MelbourneVia the Internet
According to the '67 Ford Illustrated Facts and Specifications manual, the recommended stripe for a GT Mustang with the Lime Gold exterior color was black. The buildsheet, if you can find it, would confirm the original color of the stripes.
