Those are probably accurate stripes. Garage art the back of the fenders for reference.

Those are absolutely incorrect stripes, which just goes to show that just because it looks original, it often isn't

Man that car is beat. When there are zero interior pictures that is always telling. Power this power that. How much if it is rusted inoperable junk? Poor car has seen a life. That passenger side rust is just wow. You know the frame must be just as bad.

Someone added stripes to a non W36 stripe car. It also makes you think the car has been painted because it would have originally had a pinstripe located just below the peak molding. That's what was standard on 442's, the W36 stripe was an option requiring the numbers be placed as shown below:
