The real question here is: Is this problem a twist in the wings, or does it start right at the mounting points for the wing? If the angle is different right at the base of the wing, that could indicate some serious previous damage that wasn't repaired correctly. On the other hand, not knowing these things, it is possible that the aircraft was designed this way. Lastly, is there room for adjustment at the mounting points? Could be the wing was installed incorrectly. We've all realized that work gets done on these 50 year old planes that doesn't get recorded in the logs.
