Shouldn't that be:

"probably because of the other vehicles in the Product line stealing the F5 limelight".

I never looked before, I thought it’d be easier to find something on it. Only decent thing I found had it in a spot that looked off to me. Then again I never really looked at them long enough to give it thought.

I don't know if it would help, but here's a pic of a 69 GTX that I had back in the early 90's.
40k mile body with original paint T7 paint.

I bought it as a body, the original 440 was long gone it sat in a garage since 1974 with no engine in it.
I put a 426 Hemi in it.

Last I knew, it went to Michigan almost 20 years ago after a buddy took the Hemi out of it and put a 440 in it.

Sure it helps. The emblem appears to be mounted in the Lynch Rd. location.

If we can verify where it was built, all the better. Still have the VIN?

I'll have to do some digging and see if I can find it.

I can ask the buddy that took the Hemi out if he has anything on it too.
He sold it to another buddy that eventually sold it to someone in MI.

No vin, LA build per mecum auctions, has the raised/higher emblem location.

Off topic: Pentastar holes for SCG.

Large pin hole is
2&3/8” below the character line
3&3/8” behind the wheel opening

Orientation of the small pin shown

Thanks

That looks like 2.75 down to me to center line. Would be .25 off from what a pic shows that is about all I could find online. Neither of which I see from the backside of my fender or where I see the filler ghosted on the outside. I’d post the pic but my attempt to resize made it bigger. Maybe sort that out later. Could be another plant to plant variation.

Yeah, there is no telling how consistent they may have been with this emblem. Probably some variations out there.

It depends on what line is used.... Middle of the hole is 12/32 (3/8). Bottom of the hole is 16/32 (1/2").

Have no idea to the origin of this fender, as it's not originally from this car.

I was thinking it, but wouldn't post it....

I'm going to wrap this up with the first observation that led down the rabbit hole:

My '69 had emblems installed in the (verified multiple places) 1968 location.
It is a Lynch Rd, September 1968 build. I recently drilled the holes exactly as they were originally, done.

Started to collect pics of Lynch Rd builds, and so far every one has the emblem installed lower...
However!! I have found some Lynch Rd cars have the emblem centered between the wheel opening and door, while others (like mine) were offset
to the rear exactly the same as a '68.

This secondary variation is a little too much for me, and that's where I am going to step off the crazy train.

More guesses:
Maybe the '68 stripes are the reason why the emblem placement needed to be more precise that year.
Maybe the lack of anything similar in '69 is what gave plants the freedom to play around with this, and it is pretty apparent to me that
they played with it.

regardless.......I knew I was in for a ride when mine measured the same as a '68.

A cross post on another site to spread the questions around.

All for now, thanks for participating!
