Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
What a neat truck to buy/restore in thread#28. But I have yet to see anybody reproduce the Chevy Sport Stripes. Maybe they never will. I often hear that large graphic arts companies can do it but I have my doubts until I see one. Larry

Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
The local Chevy dealer restored a truck just like that blue 80.
Stripes were done by a local sign shop with their computer and turned out well It helped that the original stripes were on the truck to start with |

Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
In our area there are 4 of the 79 and 80 Chevy Sports he has done and he has the patterns for those.I have a 78 that may get restored after a couple of other projects are complete...we will have to develop the stripe kit from pictures unless i can find an original.And I am still looking for a 77 sport....I will address the stripe issue when I find one.

Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
Sorry if there is a better place to ask this, but did they ever produce the Jimmy Street Coupes?
I ask because I saw this for sale and it looks like it had a graphic at one time and the graphic seems familiar?

Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
As far as I know the Jimmy Street Coupe was a prototype only.
I think there was a magazine test article. They also made a S15 jimmy street coupe...I have the brochure. |

Re: How many 1979 Chevy Sports produced
I don't believe so.
I recall all of the Indy support trucks being pickups (no utilities). K
