Strange - trunk lip cut where stamping should be 69 B

[monaco66coupe]

factory a/c, bench seat, 4 speed, matching numbers....goal is to restore original as much as possible...probably have more in it that worth but I'm good with that, looking forward to the journey and keeping a little mopar history alive..

great car, I have a 69 Coronet Hardtop as well.

Not sure if you’re aware but that area also has a partial vin stamping in the trunk lip area. Have the quarters indeed been changed? Otherwise the only thing I can see why it would be like that 9s a poorly repaired rotten trunk lip, but I haven’t seen any really rot in that area.

Still assessing the overall condition of the 69 Bee I purchased a couple weeks ago. Have verified VIN, engine, transmission, fender tag, and radiator core support are all matching.

The trunk lip area per the pic seems to have this area cut out. Appears previous, not so great work, done in this area and around the quarter could have a bearing? Possible this area had been replaced and was cut out to prevent confusion? Cant think of why anyone would want that piece of metal, only matches this car. WeirdView attachment 1095958

Ok upon closer inspection the quarter had been replace including the trunk lip, so I guess they cut it out since it did not match this car. Job was a bit sloppy with filler, tho pretty straight. I'll be getting it stripped straightened and repaired.

I've seen one completely rotted away.......it happens

I hung a complete used quarter on my GTX in 1988 to repair accident damage. At that time, I was clueless as to the number........ again, it happens
