Also, for the record. I remember that the 66 Hemi Charger off Cora's (the Mauve survivor) was also was lacking the air cleaner decal. She had the dealer swap the 426 fender emblems for 383 because she was tired of street racers egging her on, it's possible the dealer also removed the air cleaner decal but she claims it was never there.

So, are you buying the X9 '69?

Counting up my pennies... among other things. Had I not bought the M, things would be a little different.

We'll see.

Close inspection will show the 426 emblem behind the right front wheel and front anti-sway bar that came with the hemi option package can be seen as well.

Did you reinstall the badges when you bought the car? EWJ says his father removed the badges after delivery.

1) The 426 fender emblems were not removed upon initial purchase: they were on the fenders until at least early 1972 when my father repurchased the car. Sorry for the incorrect info.

That would explain the slightly grungy look of the washer bottle in the color pics, the car was at least 4-5 years old when they were taken right?

Scott- The engine pics were taken at the time I've stated in a prior post (within 1 week of delivery). The FENDER emblems are to what I am speaking to in point "1".

Point "2" is speaking to the air cleaner decal: and when the question was raised, my father immediately responded that there was never one on his car. He then went on to say that his friend’s car never had it either- without my even asking.

Ed:

I am sure you are 100% correct in yours and your fathers recollection of what was(or wasn't), on the car when new. Just disregard all of the pinheads that think ALL of these cars HAD to be produced to the letter of the standard. They have NO clue. Often the case, especially in the early days, there were omissions, errors and other such quirks that make the point that there were no absolutes.
