The endura delete option was not available in 69. This looks like a 68 chrome bumper.

yeah I wonder how that got the 1969 exposed headlight grills in there? I seem to remember on my first 1968 I bought wreck in the front end. All i could find was a Lemans doghouse , couldn't get the gto grills to fit the chrome bumper. I can't really remember why it was long time ago. Seems like is was around the headlight buckets?? I ended up using the Lemans grills. I had same grill/headlights on my first 1968

A correct look doesn’t appear to be the first order of the day with that car so I’m pretty sure the chrome bumper is what you call hitting the easy button. Especially if the endura bumper that the car left the factory with was bent sometime over the course of 50 years.

Not painting the hood scoop inserts is darn near inexcusable on 68-70. But nothing a black rattle can couldn’t fix. Wrong wheel trim...

I do love the power windows, one of the more underrated options, IMO.

Not a bad looking car, in spite of all the wrong stuff on it. The '68 chrome bumper looks soooo much better than the '69. I hate the door-ding strip all the way down the side. If you have to have it, at least stop it shortly behind the door opening.
