Best pic I have access to of my 1970 at the moment -

I figure what you see is the Black(ish) colour of the original transport coating with the overspray of primer and top coat on top, there was possibly a mega light blow in of paint in there but my painter found it extremely hard to replicate by purposely aiming the gun in there.

Hello,

Anyone know how an early 69t was sprayed at factory?
My car was light ivory, what colour was front trunk, rear engine bay, underneath the car, wheel Wells etc?

Anyone of a list

Thanks and regards

Been looking at this recently and I'm sure a 69 was black. Mines September 69 and is black over light coat of body colour.
Hope this helps.
