Thanks Charlie. I need to do a little cleanup and go through the numbers but it sure seems to be an incredibly solid original car.

The radius at the top of those rear stripes does not look right. No black on the rockers either. Repaint?

Could be. I won't know more until it gets cleaned up. It is definitely old lacquer and I see no tape lines though.

as I stated earlier...it seems as though the stripe ends are taped and there is not the typical overspray on the stripes in the cowl area..and now with these photos, it seems the same in the trunk area..
does not seem original paint i.m.o.

I love the shot of the original POP and the fingerprints under the left edges of the tape. Run those prints and maybe you can find the dealership employee that originally sold it. (If he has a criminal record, of course).

Cool car!

If you have the time, you may want to lift the driver and passenger side carpet to see if the body broadcast copy is under there. The original owner of my 68 told me he found his when he lifted the carpet to install the drive shaft loop. Mine was a Norwood car however. Great car, great find, good luck!
