So you're saying every Barracuda and Gran Coupe with A22 had the blackout?

That's kinda like an M46 Barracuda - they all had the blackout too.




At least for any Barracuda I've seen with A22. Per my earlier post I'm not sure if Gran Coupes kept the argent tail or if was superseded by blackout with A22.

All 70 Gran Coupes with A22 have a silver, or astrotone rear panel, the astrotone it sprayed about half an inch under each rear aluninum quarter moulding and also to the top of the tail panel so that the lip of the decklid covers the top of it when down. Remember that the Gran Coupe medallion that covers the key hole has the silver or astrotone paint surrounding the outside of it, that is always that way, it is never black.
BTW, the black on an M46 tail panel is applied the same way as the astrotone on a gran coupe tail panel, it has the same three aluminum pieces to seperate the black from the body color as a Gran Coupe does. The black on a 'cuda is limited to the inside border of the four stainless tail panel pieces.
