No side marker reflectors on front or rear fenders makes it look a lot like a '67. Plus the grille is not white like a '68...
If they wanted to make a '69 look like a '67, they worked hard at it.
Yes you would need 67/68 fenders and fill in the reflector holes [if using '68 tin] , and a 67/68 radiator wall. The tell would be in the door handles, and a 3-spoke steering wheel, flat black glove box door and a lot of other small details. Big back windows were available as a "Panoramic" option.
Perhaps the '69 listing is a typo?
