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 I do not have a picture of a stock 69 roadrunner to compare at this time. But I do show me yours's and I'll show you m...................wait that doesn't sound good 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.

Here is the confusing part to me. Is this a game? You could of explained the rivets from the first posting. You seem to know all about the car already so whats the end game here? Is it time to sell the car and now draw attention? Looking for backup validation? 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. 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. 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. It's already been "restored" once.
Nothing can be taken as factory on it. 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.

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.
