1970 Barracuda grille blackout photos
« on: November 28, 2010 - 05:44:14 PM »
I know many of you have asked what the blackout looks like.  So I took some photos of mine.  This is an unmolseted 1970 barracuda, Vitiman C Orange.

Thanks for the pics.  Seems kind of careless of the factory.

So, I am curious, what option did your car have to have come with a black out grill?

M46????  Or what??

It came with the High Impact color, so they black'ed out the grille.  Yes, if you look at it they shoot it from just a few angles.  So one side will have a support bracket painted and the other side is not.  :screwy:

Plus I heard they shot them from the bottom up. Howeve,r you can see in the photos that they have some areas where the top of an area is sprayed and the bottom is not.
