I always thought the hood scoop was painted black, am I wrong?

LOVE the color! Fantastic car. Wonderful engine bay! Just not a fan of the Venetian blinds on the rear window. Excellent pics Geno!

I had to look it up. The scoop was body color on all 1969 Boss 429 cars. In 1970 they were all matte black. It also said that to this day, it is the largest factory hood scoop ever installed on a production Mustang.

Geno:  Nice Crown Premiums model.  One that I am proud to have in my fleet.

What Tony said!

Were the Venetian blinds standard on the Boss?

I agree, that's why my favorite color on a Z/28 is Hugger Orange. Steve

@sizedoester 

John, backlite louvers and trunk spoiler were optional on both Bosses.

Yep, thanks, but I absolutely love and prefer the color on the '70 design over the '69. On the '69 I like a medium blue metallic but I don't know the color name.
