Thanks Gary.

I guess I'll go with the black.  Mine looks like the first, which is
somewhere between silver, dirty, and black.

PluckedChicken,
My 63 383, which is very original, is for sure turquoise engine block
and black Air Filter cover.  For the turquoise engine paint,
Summit Racing has what you need:

DCC-4120752AB        TURQUOISE ENGINE PAINT           1
