I'd be pretty disappointed to only get 51 years out of a set of brake shoes!
Discussion going on in another thread here about horns. Please take a picture of the horns for us. My money is on Prestolite brand horns....

I'm interested in this Airtex fuel pump. I've never seen a rebuildable one in this style.
Thoughts anyone?

Crap, overlooked the RR part. They are all Spartan....
K frame, wiper motor, EAD, transmission, radiator, lower control arms.
New one to me. Interesting it is painted....
Same here. Although you can't see it in the photo, the grease/dirt build up is the same on the block & pump, I can see a portion of the gasket that has orange paint on it & the paint on the hex head of the bolt still has paint on it. I just can't imagine that someone would paint a replacement pump.
K Frame date: Stamped in the front of the K frame right above the yoke support. Please let me know what the bottom of the K looks like as well.
Wiper motor: Numbers stamped in the barrel of the motor. Should be facing straight up.
Engine assembly date (EAD): Stamp pad on the right side of the engine block in front of the right head.
Transmission: VIN stamp pad right side of the transmission.
Radiator: Right side mounting bracket 1/2 way down.
Lower control arms (LCA): Forward facing rivets, 2 on each side.

Wow, what an amazing time capsule - all the more unlikely given the model.
This is fascinating stuff!

RC- I hope that you are wearing a good respirator when dealing with those brakes. Original brake shoes contained asbestos and if the dust is inhaled can cause serious, fatal lung damage (mesothelioma). Be careful!!!!

Mark,
Thank you for all of the pictures. This car is wearing its original parts in these pictures. See definitions below. Follow up pictures are requested on the EAD stamp pad and LCA's. Thanks again. You are an enabler for my numbers addiction...

K Frame date: 1129 1 - 112th day of 1969 1st shift. Tuesday, April 22nd 1969. The construction of the K frame is the hybrid type, 1969 top with a 1970 bottom.
Wiper motor date: 1049 - 104th day of 1969. Monday, April 14th 1969.
Engine assembly date (EAD): 4 ? - April ?, 1969. I cannot see the next digit(s) on the stamp pad in the picture. I am going to guess 2?.
Transmission assembly date: (10000 day calendar) 2799 - Thursday March 27th 1969.
Radiator: 0529 - 52nd day of 1969. Friday February 21st 1969.
Lower control arms (LCA): The other rivet on each arm will show you the year, shift, and line it was built on. Like many parts, this is a Julian Calendar date code. 073 - 73rd day of 1969. Friday, March 14th 1969. 084 - 84th day of 1969. Tuesday, March 25th 1969.
