Ok, now I understand, you have one but it's not that black one.

Sorry, about that. English is my second language...Jersey is my primary. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I changed a bit quick from mentioning my car to the picture of the black car!
Most special paint Firebirds including the '72 Black T/A seemed to get the double dashes, but I do remember one '71 Formula 455 on Performance Years that had the 19 19 for Starlight Black on the data tag.

I believe that is because you could get a black Firebird in 71 but had to special order it in 72 and beyond...til the black and gold cars showed up in '76

Here is a pic of Phil Boris' beautiful 70 COPO with the &quot;Trans Am&quot; spoiler from the factory.

I have to admit Phil's car was killer but that Spoiler just didnt look right. It was out of place on the car dimension wise and made the rear look tacky.

No offense Phil!
