I have photos from the 60's showing blue fittings. I recall some Coupe pics I have from 1965 showing blue fittings.

...not the bright blue of today...more a turquoise blue, but nevertheless....blue.

No red, though.

Here is a 427 Comp car as delivered. Photo was taken in 1968

Accepted as People's Exhibit A. Thanks. Not being a PITA, but that car has some hard use on it and I could see it having had some maintenance and upgrades after delivery.

I'd love to see more photos from the 1964-66 era if anyone has them, especially if they more specifically show the AN fittings we saw (more of) later.

I did say that's how it was delivered, but it could have been reworked as well...but it was taken at the end of the '68 season.

I have more photos, but you'll have to take my word for it. Blue was used in the day.
