So there not black?
Just an example I have of one other original car. And LA plant stuff is sometimes wierd and I made sure to list the SPD as something things change over the production year.
I'm pretty sure there is a factory engineering drawing that covers this. I think it's been in Mopar Action.

Barry are you sure that only the t/a's were blacked out in 70?
Yes.
Is it possible an R/T or two slipped out with it? Sure.
To test it, look for chips or sand through it somewhere. The blackout on the tail panel was applied first, then masked off & the body color shot. So, if you find body color under the black, the black was added later.

Or more likely incorrectly restored as many cars were over the years.

 If I was painting a Challenger (anything other than a numbers matching, well-optioned stocker) I would be VERY tempted to do the black-out regardless of originality!
