The factory did not supply chrome plated aircleaner bases or lids on 2nd Gen T/A's. The only chrome lids factory installed on 2nd Gens were on '70 Formulas, same chrome lid as came on '69 & 70 GTO's with the base 350 horse 400 4bbl engines.
In the 70's & 80's it wasnt that hard or expensive to have a stock steel aircleaner base chrome plated... most likely the origin of this damage. Will go that far, as I serious doubt the thermacs on the snorkels survived the plating process.
