Blue Air Cleaner?

[24 Ounces]

Is this a '70 only item? I have never seen a blue early Z air cleaner. I noticed there is no "Winter-Summer" control on it, and no carb heater duct connection.

Without getting into the reputation of that particular vendor, I can say that many of the replacement airboxes as sold by the Dealer parts departments were blue, not orange. I suspect that one is an example of a factory replacement.
