I really wish I could buy this car right now. I see some of the same details mine has, such as the semi painted rear marker light retainers. Do you have any pics of the ECS system under the car, mainly the shield and what kind of fasteners are used to mount it? Have you found any inspection marks or paint daubs on it?

quote; "see some of the same details mine has, such as the semi painted rear marker light retainer" Very interesting, i haven't seen any examples of painted or semi painted rear marker light retainers. Does it look like they were taped off when the inside of the trunk was painted? Is the trunk latch painted? I know some were and some weren't.

On mine,
The marker light retainers had what looked like heavy overspray rather than being fully painted. But the quarter panels were all red and were painted with the marker housings out.
The latch mechanism wasn't painted, mounting bolts were painted. The catch attached to the decklid was painted.
As were mine on my 71 340 Duster (also an LA plant car). Did you take pics of your housings and the painted metal underneath them?
