By 70 all the cowls (above the firewall to cowl pinchweld) were blacked out.





Here are a few 70 NJ examples

Hope this helps

Think your referring to Dearborn nor NJ - correct?

Wish we had real production dates on all the samples/examples to get possibly a specific date. I've got the April 10th or 11th 1969 from projected dates at Dearborn
