seems like maybe a little bubbling/repair at bottom of front quarters? Or, am I seeing things? Price is pretty hefty too.

sorry, forgot to ask my other picky question...shouldn't the engine be painted blue, not orange?
 
Nice car! First one I have ever seen that has the same radio in it that I have. Price might be a little high but I hope they get it.

Not if it's an HP 383. Problem is, in '69 all 383s were simply a "G" in the VIN as this one is. I like in '70 where they made a distinction between L and N.

This car is sweet!
 
Repainted.
Pinch welds on rockers body colored.
Still gorgeous.
What am I missing? Pinch weld should be body color, I have never seen them any other way (aside from the cars that had rocker trim that also had the bottom of the rockers painted)
Maybe its a C-Body think?

So I wonder aloud...why are most of the pics from 10+ feet away? esp the Dutchman. Not to mention not knowing what creature lurks beneath that trunk mat...:rolleyes:

My -69 E63 code Newport and 383 engine is painted blue.

I Remember reading somewhere that two workers on either side of the line painted just the pinch weld with a brush and black paint as the car went by, apparently with the same "Organosol" used for the cowl. As for it being only those cars with rocker trim, that's a great question. Unfortunately, the only original paint car I have for reference is black and with rocker trim.
