Is this the blackout in the center section, and lower portions on the hood?
Is it only in black?
If it is an R/T does it have the reverse R/T lettering in it?

It's the same as 70 but with the reverse R/T cut out to show body color

Only black.

The standard non V21 hood R/T is always black.

Got it, thanks for the pics Dan.
If the car had white R/T stripes, the V21 would still be black, correct?

Let's just be honest here. 71 Challengers had nice graphics.

Did the fender tag show these codes, or just the broadcast sheet?

I have seen it at least on a fender tag.
Cannot confirm it is on the broadcast sheet.

These look weird with black and white stripe mix...IMHO.

I'm pretty sure this car is per the tag. 69Mannix restored it and owned it at time of pic. rubber bumpers, white stripe, black top, hood black out.

I don't think many mopars (or any others) had a white-out hood treatment. The white reflects the sun and would be a driving hazard. Same reason for no/little white dash pads

What about the many millions of white cars?

Good point. I was thinking more of dashes. And I there cars with white dashes. Just very few.

I just don’t see very many white out hood treatments from the OE.

I think 70 Mach 1 could be had with white hood stripes. Others?
