My understanding, tell me if I'm wrong, is that the side decals came on the appearance cars. If one is added to a non-appearance car, will it help or hurt the resale value?
not so. at least for negative side stripes in 74.
a lot of the cars in 74/75 had them - from the dealer new.
positive ones might be a different story.
were earlier version.
some sixes had those originally.
i am pretty sure you could get them as a dealer option not necessarily tied to appearance group or LE or anything else.
Dealer added "option", VW of NA had all kinds of dealer goodies they would try to sell you. Radios, antennas, side scripts, little chrome (aluminum) trim items, floor mats, ski racks, etc, etc.
