Blacked Out

Saw this on a "For Sale" post and didn't want to clog his add with my observation/comments... A nice 2nd Gen Barracuda lower valance.

A detail often missed on 67-69 Barracuda restorations is the factory Blackout treatment done to the front valance. Faded, but still visible here.
Makes these tabs kind of disappear from a distance.

Not my cars and I do not know the owners. I just did a quick google search to show the difference. Both are nice cars. One makes me want to grab a black rattle can,
but could be my OCD... “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“

Blacked out.

Just wanted to vote and put my 2 cents in - YES this is one of my OCD / pet peeves too! It is a detail OFTEN missed. But then again I like a stock (or really close) appearing car. But wanted to let you know you are NOT the only one.
