the car in the photo had a rear end hit in the middle at some point and the tail panel is pushed in and the body shop never bothered to pull it back properly.

If you want to get it right just pick up the 69 assembly manual, it has all the alignment specs for the back of the car.

The factory 69 tail panel was a bit off, all 69 GTO's left the factory with the tail lights slightly slanted downwards towards the center of the car. This can be corrected with a SLIGHT enlargement of the four holes.

Another issue like this is that the factory front valance, the passenger side parking lamps were all canted also. A good body man can deal with this.
