By chance did this car come out of Mason City, Illinois? Previous owner was Tom S.?

Rick,

I cant say if it did or didnt. I purchased the car from a guy that lived in Gladstone, IL. I cant recall if he was the person that bought it from ebay when it was known on this site a few years back. The car is Baltimre built and then was sold in Newport News VA. Funny how it made its way to Az and then back across the country.

All SS396, Z25 equipped chevelles in '69 received the wheel well moldings no matter if they were 13427, 13437, 13637, 13667, or 13680 models. Chevy pierced the upper 5 holes in the fenders and quarters, but drilled the rest of the holes when the moldings were required. When I say drilled, they were drilled with the self tapping screws for the moldings. So the moldings were located with the upper 5, then the linesman would self tap the rest following the molding. Also, the oem moldings have the upper center hole as just that, a hole. The rest are slotted. The repops are all slotted, including the upper center.

I am looking for a 69 Hugger Orange Deluxe 300, seen the one you had on the thread. Long shot, but do you still have the car and would you be interested in selling. I had the exact car when I was 16, sold in 1976.
