After doing a search on this site, it seems 67-69 396 tailpanel blackout gloss %, the masking locations, and use on Tuxedo Black cars is sporatic.
Also according to the exterior section of this site, "Black SS-396 cars would not have received the (semi-gloss) blacked-out tailpans. But it should be noted that a few original paint black SS-396's have been observed with blacked-out tailpanels - the paint difference is only visible at the paint tape line."
My question is specifically for those who have owned or inspected original paint Tuxedo Black 1967 396 Norwood cars.
Have original paint Tuxedo Black 1967 396 Norwood Camaros been observed with separate blacked out tailpanels?
I'm not concerned with LOS cars, or 68-69 models.
Photo evidence with tapelines, or lack thereof are much appreciated.
I thought I read somewhere that deep water blue and Tuxedo black big block cars didn't get a blacked out tail pan from factory.
Can anyone verify that?
Jose, can you tell what your car had?
I have pics of a mostly original paint 1967 L35 car. Let me see if I can find any of the rear panel and I will contact you direct if I have any pics.

Bryon,
Unfortunately I am unable to tell what my car had. The quarters on my car were poorly patched and there are no remnants of a tape line because of the overspray and heat generated when the patch was welded into place. The tailpan looks like a 60% gloss but I don't think it's original paint.
