No knowledge of such a car, but possible I suppose. I bet Shelby would have signed anything for the right price.

2- Hurst shifters were standard issue on 1969 Z/28's
4- MSD Ignition was founded in 1970.

Sorry, I wish it was better news for you. But no reason to not enjoy the car!

Hey MO...it was a joke!!! I like to insert some fun sh** once in awhile. I know there is no way that some fool would convert a V8 car into a 6, but I was nearly fool enough to create my own '69 6-banger from (12337 car) about 15 years ago with an original '69 with a swapped 350, 4-speed (swapped from the original 3-speed), and a really nice blue standard interior.  I had located a donor '69 Nova with a 230 and a 3-on-the-tree column and was hoping to rebuild it to its original drivetrain.  Unfortunately I waited a little too long and the car was sold (maybe it is now a '69 Z...I have that feeling).

Good one! I completely bought it.

Hi Tom,

Based on this I would interpret B1D28D to be: Cleveland TH350, 1971, April 28, Day Shift. Note there is no L listed to designate a month.

Cool story on the tires and thankfully they are going on a worthy car, and yes, be safe on them. I don't see any way your car would have a fake TT. I get that people are faking them, but everything that you have posted about Charlotte adds up to being legit. Great analogy on rarity!

Even if the top was dealer installed, I doubt it adds anything to the value. And to some, would be a deduct. 14957x appears to be in the range for an 03C Camaro, but the stamp does not look good. It also looks like there may be another number after the last 7; possibly a 2?

The "L" looks like it might be a "D". What is the build date of the car?

MO...that is a distinct possibility...makes perfect sense to me.  I know you are a detail-oriented guy...have you seen this painted mark before on trunk seals?  I have noticed that the repop trunk seals look remarkably dissimilar to the originals (like a lot of other repop stuff).

PS...I found a posting from 2008 on here from "Firstgenaddict" regarding the orange mark.  You are correct that it was used to orient the seal during installation on the assembly line.

Thanks, I resemble that. Yes, I have seen that before, and assumed that's what it was for, but never really went any further to verify. Thanks for the confirmation. Nice score on the tires!

Maybe a starting locator for installation?

Is this what you are asking about?

Order an NCRS report. If it shipped 4/18 or later, all should be good. BTW, April 13, 1969 was a Sunday, so that would not be the anticipated start of production.

Ms may have been added after machine work.

I have a friend that worked at Motor Machine in San Diego. He said they stamped double M's on their rebuilds for warranty claims.
