Like one of your sources, I have a very large sample size in my memory of these cars. My first A body was in 66 when I turned 16, but it was a 273 2bbl 4speed 64 Barracuda. (I wanted a new S 67 Barracuda but had to settle for the repo 64)
When the 65s came out in late 64, I had a couple friends buy them new, and I was pretty envious to say the least. Drooling.
One was a tan Dart 273 4bbl GT and the other was a white formula S Barracuda.
Both had the SS resonator tips.
The gas station across the street from where I worked bought a new 66 Dart for drag racing, it had a SS tip.
My Dad has a 65 formula S car that I proccurred for him about 35 years ago, it has a stainless tip.
I shopped many dealer parts inventories when they were not all that old, never saw a black one.
I bought a new one for Dad's car from an NOS inventory in the early 80s for just over $100 , never saw a black one.
You are the first time I ever heard of a black one in 47 years of me being in love with and infatuated with that resonator.
Guess I am not too old to learn something. :dontknow:
You are doing an amazing job ULF, and yours is the first thread I check when I log on here!
