it also says in the auction its a mild custom, so some one very well could have glassed the mudflaps in. seeing as the quarters on my 69 have been stripped of paint from pebbles and road debris, i wish my dad had glassed mud flaps in back in the 70s when he was working on it.

Having set outside in the weather all those years, I would have to look at the bird cage before I would bid. Say all you want about Americas sports car, but exposure to the elements like that will probably cause problems.

The marker lights are the smaller 68-69 size. I say someone glassed in some later year flaps. The question is why go through all that work and not put a flared fender on it? If you interested in the car run your hand around the inside of the fender to figure out where the new pieces meet with the original.
