George,
--------My cousin had serial#700 66 427/450 and I saw that car within a week of it being new. That particular 66 had a black air-cleaner top with only a 427 emblem on it. I dont know what cars earlier than this car had. Could have all been black or could have been mixed. My point is that if they were still using at least one black AC lid at that point probably no chrome ones got into 65 production. Id hate to try to get that one past the judges today but at least one black AC lid was put on a 66 Vette. Before someone says it was switched at the dealer my cousin was at the dealer within a half hour of the trucks arrival!............Bill S
