383S Factory Emblem Delete

I'll have to believe that if it had callout stripes then it would not have the fender callouts , same scenario plays out on other models such as a 69 superbee with ramcharger hood , engine callout on the scoop and the 383 magnum emblem is not installed on the fender, though a few are known that had both.

As far as that picture from Hamtramack Historical , that's a pre release photo , probably of a pilot car so it would have things production models would not .



Were these unrestored cars ?

I think you might have hit on it JohnRR, I think most of the cars I have seen were restored, maybe incorrectly.
