Did any bullet birds come in black originally?

Hi. I'm getting my 1961 hardtop painted next spring. Currently it's Corinthian White. I was thinking about painted it black, but I want to stay as close to original as possible. Did any of the bullet birds come in black? Thanks

Re: Radiator Upgrade or a way to improve cooling '61?

Hi Mark H. You're correct. There is absolutely no problem with overheating during normal driving. I drove the car almost every day this summer with a problem. Thanks. At least now I know it's not the car.

The outside temp was about 80 degrees. The engine started to get hot and clunk a bit, but did not stall. I w...
