ST,
They came both ways, depending on when exactly you bought them. There's a whole other thread or two about the colors of the battery sides and tops. There's photos of a couple of Daytona Coupes with the batteries like you describe, and there's some with the black Rebats like I've made up. I think Sal Menella knows a little more about this, but this is the way I've seen the photos of the Comp cars. I suppose it's a matter of choice, and I'm just used to seeing it this way.
