The car has rubber mat flooring, which is throwing me off, as i assume it should be carpet, but the mat looks very original. To make matters worse, the front seat, was recovered, poorly, in blue with cloth inserts, but the rear seat is original vinyl. So the question is can a car still be original if seemingly conflicting info on the trim tag.

Also tag along question, it has PN for an axle code on the POP, i cannot find that for 69 Nova, any info would be appreciated.

Thanks folks!

I think the problem is you are mistaken about the 735 code...the 735 code is for a 'standard' blue cloth interior...the 'custom' upgrade is 736. So, a 735 interior would have correctly come with a rubber floor mat instead of carpeting. Cloth seats were not completely cloth, they were a combination of cloth and vinyl...so, if the backseat is all vinyl, there is an issue.

Bottom line...the TT is correct.

As noted the PN axle code is a correct option for a 1969 Nova. In fact, the 3.08 posi makes sense given the 350 V8 engine...
