I always thought that also until a customer brought in his survivor type rust free 6bbl in the shop that we are in the process of doing some minor paint touch up work on. All the screws have the captured external lock washers exactly the same as my personal 4k mile survivor.



All I've ever seen are the screws that Mike referenced on LA cars. In the group of guys that I've known in CA including myself a lot of LA cars have passed through our hands over the years. I'd say that someone on the assembly line used the wrong screws on a few cars I'd say the screws that you have pictured are possibly roof rail or drip molding trim screws.
