This is a nice car, but I wanted to know what is the measurement of the strobe stripe away from the rear window.this one looks like its to close to it.

Actually it looks about right. The bottom of the stripe should be centered over the wheel opening

Stripe is correct ... too many people center the stripe in the 'c' pillar space which is way too far back.
The car has a Satellite interior though.

It may be a little close to the rear side window... I think it's supposed to be 1" to 1-1/2" back from that window. I've seen the measurement someplace, just can't recall where...

Yep, that would be me!
This one's a little too far forward, but MOST you see are too far back cuz they try to center it in the c-pillar.

I agree it's about an inch or so forward but it's way better that center on a 'c' pillar.
The factory did place the stobe stripes about one inch from the rear window.
See attached 1972 Road Runner press photo.

Thanks Guys, I also noticed that this car doesnt have the roadrunnerhead in the grill and has a 72 valence button in the front.
