Actually, it's not an error. On the order form for the GT there were three options regarding the stripes:
- Bodyside "Ford GT" logo Vinyl Tape Stripes (standard)
- Delete "Ford GT" Body Side Tape Stripes (no cost option 97D) - not available with 97P, required with 68G
and
- Painted Racing Stripes (over hood, roof, rear hatch option 97P) - not available with 97D, included with 68G
68G was the heritage order code. If you ordered "painted stripes", vinyl side stripes was automatically included in your order. They did not offer a combination where you could order top painted stripes but no sides stripes, and therefore if you have "Painted Racing Stripes", vinyl side stripes is implied.
Don't sweat it. As soon as Brian finds the password for it I'll clear some of it up.
