1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

Fender Tag says bench seat, so you woun´t find these reinforcement plates, (if not put there when bucket seats were put in).
As for the this photo of the engine, could engine be out of a ´64-65? (water neck and chrome valve covers)
Sorry, but this car occupies our mind. Guess we ought to be a bit more patient lol...
