Title: 69 Dearborn Running Change Thread -Sportroof Rear Quarter Endcap
Post by: AB_Russ on March 18, 2024, 12:33:48 AM
Per the "Running Changes" main thread. Some detail on a car I parted out around 1987.
1969 SportsRoof - VIN = 9F02M1046xx
Scheduled build date of 11J (Sep 11 1968). 63A, B (Royal Maroon) car. Black interior. Only the passenger side end cap was fibreglass. The driver side was pot metal. Only one I have ever seen or been aware of. Car was missing the engine and the seats and had been sitting in a field for years (with mice to keep it company...) These days you could certainly restore it. Then, not so much. Car was in Western Canada.

Have seen odd 69 endcaps before and the fiberglass ends caps still  show up in jan 69 or so. You can tell a fiberglass end cap by looking at the seem on bottom of endcap where it meets the bumper as its not smooth like the potmetal ones . So is it the same side fiberglass that keeps showing up on one side after the potmetal ones started showing up?
