I thought I read somewhere that F8 and B7 cars were not painted black? Please let me know if this is incorrect as I will soon be installing the windshield on my 70 F8 Challenger. Thanks.

I have seen original paint '70 Challengers in EF8 & TX9 with full blackout. I have not looked close at any original in EB7 yet & I have not seen every original paint car either though. What do your before & during restoration photos show? My 38,000 mile 1970 EF8 Valiant also has the radiator blackout as normal.

So, has anyone seen a production car with the blackout rear taillight panel? Obviously there are drawings showing it, and it shows up on the brochure, but I have not seen it on an original paint car.
