Very common back in the day, quite possible the vinyl top was dealer installed.
My Newport was born without the vinyl top,but was dealer installed.

newport custom trunk molding on a non custom car and undercoated inner fenders?

I wonder if the magnums were from the factory (or at least the dealer?), and if they're 14 inch.

Maybe this depended on the assembly plant, but technically didn't the slab engine bays come painted black?

Even the firewall and rad support? Both sides of the rad support?

Aren't those the Ford variant?

 

[Big_John]

Aren't those the Ford variant?

They look like 15" to me, but the pics aren't clear. '68 Mopar Magnums wouldn't have a trim ring.

I don't know if they are Ford wheels. I would assume they are aftermarket.

Different plants coded differently.

Many plants coded the top paint code whether the car had a vinyl top or not. Y/6 = black vinyl top.

No and no.

Chrysler Used Motor Wheels Corporation's Magnum 500 Wheels - Mopar Connection Magazine | A comprehensive daily resource for Mopar enthusiast news, features and the latest Mopar tech

In 1965, the Motor Wheel Corporation introduced the Magnum 500 wheel, a significant milestone in automotive history. The Magnum 500, a product of Motor Wheel’s advertisement campaigns, the “World’s Largest Manufacturer of Custom Wheels” and later the “World’s Largest Manufacturer of Sports...

In 1965, the Motor Wheel Corporation introduced the Magnum 500 wheel, a significant milestone in automotive history. The Magnum 500, a product of Motor Wheel’s advertisement campaigns, the “World’s Largest Manufacturer of Custom Wheels” and later the “World’s Largest Manufacturer of Sports Wheels,” was a significant change in the automotive industry.

The Magnum 500 wheels, among the first styled wheels offered, stood out with their unique five-spoke configuration. The design quickly became iconic, capturing the imagination of muscle car owners of the era.

A lesser-known fact is that the Chrysler Corporation offered the Motor Wheel Magnum 500 as an option on its B- and C-bodies starting in 1967 and later the E- and F-bodies, further cementing its place in the annals of automotive history.

The Motor Wheel Magnum 500 was listed as a Chrome-plated Steel Road Wheel in the 1967 dealership data book. The 14-inch wheel was an option on Mopar B- and C-bodies. The Road Wheel was identified by sales code 580.

Tracing through Chrysler’s literature from 1967 and 1968, we find the Magnum 500 wheels were called the “Chrome Plated Steel Road Wheel” by Chrysler. In 1969, the wheels were named the “Chrome Stamped Road Wheel and Trim Ring” in the dealer literature.

Then, in 1970, its name was subtly altered, becoming the “Road Wheel with Trim Ring.” Finally, in 1971, the name evolved into the “Road Wheel with Chrome Trim Ring,” a name that endured throughout the 1970s, marking a captivating transformation journey.

------------------------------

I believe I read somewhere that they were options for C-bodies only in 1967 and 68. The wheels on this car could very well have come with the car. The fender tag tire code is 635 - can anyone decode that?

Y6: Black Vinyl Top

I always overlook that...

Id love to be wrong on this one.

Interesting thing about the tire - I searched but can find NOTHING about Stratton-brand tires. I wonder if that's a bias or radial tire. Here's one of my rims before I had my Hankook's mounted to it:

I used elmers school glue to mask the ribs before I sprayed the centers with flat black.
