Ray,

 Here is a new Motorcraft unit. I believe this is the correct finish, but assembly line may differ from NOS, and frequently does.

Current Project:
64.5 Black DB Cpe
5F07D1131XX  4/14/64


The stable:
65 Ivy Green Coupe 4SPD
68 Candy Apple Red GT500KR 4SPD FB
70 Grabber Blue Boss 429
86 Jalapeño Red GT  5SPD
91 Emerald Green Saleen Conv. 5SPD
03 Sonic Blue Cobra Conv.
07 Black GT500 Cp
