Topic: 1965 5F07C Air Cleaner and Valve Covers Correct Color

[mylesrobinette]

Wanted to make sure I painted things the correct color so I get it right the first time. From my research the Air Cleaner and Valve Covers are supposed to be GOLD and the Snorkel and Oil Cap BLACK.

My vehicle: 1965 Mustang 5F07C, Dearborn, Hardtop, C code 289-2v engine, April 12, 1965, Color Y, Trim 22, Trans 6

This is a reference pic of what I believe to be correct, if someone could please confirm! Thank you kindly

Also what about the valve cover screws? Gold, Black, or just unfinished?

those colors would be correct. however there are a lot of other details in that pic that are not.

Thanks for your reply! I should have mentioned I only added that photo for the reference of the colors and nothing else. Although I am going to go with the 289 cu decal sticker.

Cad plated, but a dull zinc will be close.
