Were the air cleaner bases black or gold?
I have found conflicting info online. Branda's site says black. Virginia Mustangs says gold (specifically says to paint a blue part gold for a Shelby).
Some Mustang guys told me their K-code bases were gold. Everything else gold was removed so maybe those were sprayed black at SA? I saw a guy today at a show that had worked on some original GT350s and said they were black.
The assembly line photos in Chuck Cantwell's book are black and white, and it's just a tiny stripe that is visible. But, if I had to guess, I'd say they are black in those photos.
Looking for consensus/confirmation.
Thanks!

The expectation in concours judging is a gold base for 1965 GT350.
My original base was gold,
