Yes it's odd to see someone remove the belt moldings, wheel lip moldings, rocker moldings etc... :clueless:

The blue tail panel in the old photos, the missing trim - my first question is do the cowl and radiator support numbers match??

herd dat!   I guess they wanted the basic look.  Before my ownership. 
The tail, rocker and wheel well holes were welded up. I redrilled and installed the wheel well moldings. I actually had the new trim chromed. I don't like the anodized. 
I went back and forth whether to redrill and install the tail molding.  I didn't care for the rockers, so I left it be. I'll let the new owner make the decision.
The cowl and support are matching.

I do have a question. Where can I get a professional appraisal?   With anlauto's comment on the billboards, I'm going to hold selling until I review.
thanks guys.

Good morning Rick.  I have used this fella several times and he knows what he is doing. He did the appraisal on my '69 Fastback. He is in Acworth. All Star Appraisals.  Dexter McGaha.  770-377-5974.  Just tell him Ken from Fairground sent you.   :2thumbs:

V6W wouldn't have been the billboards.  At least per Paul Herd's restoration guide.  It says those (V6W) were the white body stripes (which are also rare).  Billboards in white were coded V9W.  Don't shoot the messenger.  Just quoting the Challenger & Barracuda restoration guide 1967-1974 by Paul Herd page 194

I don't think so...
