There was no color applied to the underhood boxes , they were molded in black , or orange for 70 Dodges , the color of the material is used is the color they ended up being. [/quote)
They most certainly were not black. They were dark grey as i stated in my first post. Take a look at any survivor 69 dodge or Plymouth.

I never said they were painted from the factory. I supplied the link to show off a restored unit that is painted.

Wasn't there a post on here at one time that said to apply some type of oil to the fiberglass that did a good job of restoring the color?

I think it's fair to say that there's "restored", and there's "correctly restored". It's very hard to restore the '69 AG composite parts to correct original appearance.
Mine (2 of them) were a very dark grey - in low light they could certainly appear to be black - but random strands of fiberglass mat were visible if you looked closely.
I can understand someone repairing his and then painting it black, but yes, strictly speaking that would not be correct.

Thats how they were originally, raw dark grey fiberglass.

It doesn't look like now! AMHIK

The box in my very early 69 was originally painted orange-I say painted because the metal clips that held the rubber seal had orange paint on them- and that was original factory work, not something done by the prior owner. By the way, there are no rivets attaching it to the hood, only screws.

I disagree. I have a Plymouth brochure that shows an orange box in one car.This is a Hemi car and it came with an air box. I bought the car in January 1970 and am sure it was unmolested. The car VIN shows a production number 000013 and the tag has a production date of 8-28, so it is possibly the first Hemi Roadrunner made, so who knows for sure what they put in it?

There were plenty of sale brochures printed that show things Chrysler never did on the assembly line. Sometimes the sales brochure would show what was planned but never actually produced. There are some '67 GTX brochures showing a Blue Air Cleaner on a 440 car but they never made them that way, they were all Black. They also produced a 71 Challenger T/A brochure but never built the car.
I would like to see your brochure, can you post a copy?
Just like the 1970 Superbee pics showing a red stripe in the grill. This has led many people to duplicate but it's incorrect. Sorry, but unless you bought the car new, it can't be proven and it's extremely unlikely. Not saying it 100% couldn't have happened, just that it most likely didn't and who knows what happened to the car in the first two years of it's life.

I disagree. I have a Plymouth brochure that shows an orange box in a white car. Also,
