Charlie... does the number 1 at the top of the windshield offer any clues?

Could you please provide more pictures of the black tail panel area? I would like to see several pics of the gloss, straight on shot in natural light. The area around the tail panel, every area were the black terminates (behind bumper, trunk lip, outer edges of t. panel, please. This would also provide a reference to the trunk seal orientation. Most I have seen are to the left of center. Thank you.

It appears there is a tape line around the stripes on the drivers door ? Can we assume that door has been repainted ?

Good eye Mr. Lillard

Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
 

Yes sir, the door and drivers fender were painted. they left the original stripe and painted around it.

Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
 

The trunk seal terminates in the center. the orange stripe is slightly offset to the left, most I have seen are offset to the right.

The Yenko really shows the gloss level much better, this car sat exposed for so long that it was chalky.

Is there any chance that I can see some shots on how the VE3 bumper fits at the ends? For comparison purposes. I figure with this car being as original as it is it will make for a good reference point
