That's a nice car. Too bad it's a 69. Just kidding, I would really like a 69. Just a question. The stripes on the tie rod sleeves and the pitman arm, are those tags or just "restoration graffiti"? And even though I know little about 69's, I did notice the incorrect tires from the thread about tires. Also, I don't remember cars looking that nice when you got them at the dealer in those days. Part of that may be that my dad was such a "negotiator" when he bought a new car, that he wouldn't pay for the "dealer prep" charges and so he got cars with all the crayon marks etc. when he got a new one.
