Would like to see a pic of the fender tag, very late build. Second orange engine I have seen, but obviously is has been repainted at some point, even 3K mile engines don't look that good, I have documented a couple low mile A-Body's. Like Noel said, some things not quite right... It makes me cringe the way this stealer molests the car in the video, it's not a woman!

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Without seeing it in person I think it is a 113,000 mile restored car...

One other thing that I don't recall is the rubber floor mat didn't have a heel pad on both drivers and passengers foot/floor area ??
My Swinger is a Sept 69 LA build and the rubber floor mat has heel,foot pad on both sides.

And here is a 2900 original mile 340 Demon, although it already had a change to a 72 carb...

My Swinger is a Sept 69 LA build and the rubber floor mat has heel,foot pad on both sides. KSJ's car, has known history back to 1990-1993 or so. Bought from original owners. IIRC, less that 60K miles then. And not much more now. OE rubber floor mat. I was there when it was pulled out. The yellow car looks like that new term for "survivor".. meaning older resto/repaint of a nice car to begin with.

I just bought a 69 Swinger GTS....The engine is a turquoise...It's a 340 car.. I knew a dude who had a 69 road runner GTX. I believe the engine was orange iirc. Sorry I couldn't resist.
