Question of the Lynch Road fender tag: originally was it painted or unpainted before you had the car re-painted?? (You don't know how many times over the last couple of decades I've asked that question spank grin )

Now we are talking! My car is the second car in the registry, the only Hemi car. In regards to the old NHOA I was a member since1978 and I still have a stack of newsletters to prove that. I actually bought from Jim O. some original decals and a big round silver elephant sticker that is still somewhere in my house.

Pretty obvious if you're talking about the door latch hook/bar. If not then the tire pressure label is missing due to painting? or..................

Is that a '68 door frame and different shape? Also missing a part number or number stamping.

The way the transition to the raised rib where the top edge transitions to quarter window: looks to have been filled in with filler.
Lets put some torque to that car and see how it looks after a few runs.

It's already been "restored" once.

Nothing can be taken as factory on it.

up but it can on my A12 RR and pretty sure it was Y4 Spanish Gold originally and a RM21 coupe/post car with no filler (solder) in the center of the VIN plate rivets like I suspected from the git go when I saw them. scope down

Understood.
If the press preview heritage can be verified, then is is possible it was pulled from line and filled in during body in white and completed after?
Even if filled with plastic/lead it would be interesting to verify. Pull the back seat panels and have a look in there. May be able to tell if originally there, and refinished during resto.
I find it curious it's not cracked and fractured. That era b body was prone to cracking in that area especially if the car was put through it's paces.

Thank you for your answer guys. Most of you got it right. As somebody mentioned after a repaint nothing is factory anymore. I used a painter with a reputation and he pointed out that he had no reason to modify anything and told me that other areas were finished better than normal, maybe because the car was to be shown to the press. There is no proof that is what happened. I remember he said something about the inside of the trunk lid, but Ido not have a picture of a stock 69 roadrunner to compare at this time.

Any difference between a 69 and 68, trunk lid that is?
Initially I wondered about the rear quarter markers, after noticing the markers on the front.

Obviously its a rare car and very cool but at least to me how all the info is posted and questions asked with already known answers makes this rings more like "Lets see what the dumb smucks know" when you already know or have the answers to your questions.

Its great of you to share your car with us here but it all seems very odd the way your going about it.

shruggy


I'm starting to agree more and more with this. This is starting to turn into a show and tell of bits and pieces. It would be a lot more interesting and make more sense to see all of these special differences.

Dang, was just ready to list my last most rare of the rare vin rivets. But the upside it I can now see if the wife has any feeling left in her feet. stirthepot

Really cool car... too bad someone really seems to of jacked up so many things on it.

No one had the forethought to take any pre resto pics? Most do.

Well, here's a stock, 17,000-mile unrestored '69 RR's trunk lid. SPD 2/12/69, St Louis.
'68-'69, there were 2 versions of the underside: a panel with cut-outs, and the full panel.
OP's car has base interior but Decor Group B-pillar caps. Those caps were available separately, but that's extremely rare.
I've seen the cracking mentioned on 1 or 2 HT B-pillars, but not on Coupes.
What I've seen of the subject car so far indicates a past incorrect restoration, and likely some major repairs early in its life.
I'm not buying special bodywork by the factory; I don't recall seeing a similar car in any of the early road tests or the traveling caravan Plymouth had.
