Black engine bay's?

Dick Landys 68 Dart was black under the hood. You don't get more Mopar than him.

*Which* '68 are you referring to ; his LO23 or LS23M8 ? The LO23 had black from the factory (or at least via Hurst ) , as did every '68 SS Dart / Barracuda . But , then again , these were also all "finished" in primer and fibreglas gelcoat .
