    Correct color for 1972 S undercarriage. Body color or black?

    There seems to be conflicting info on the reg. Was a consensus ever reached?
    Black wheel wells and undercarriage or body color.
    Thank you in advance

    I recall in 72 wheel well and engine area still black but not solid black colour.
    Undercarriage was not black but not body colour either…it was more grayish.
    In 73 they started some parts in full body colour, for example engine area.
    one has to distinguish btw 72 and 73, they were not identicial.

    Here is a much more complete thread w 30 answers, some are very helpful:

    These cars were hand painted black. They were brush painted over the body color so it depends how far the guys working that day took it under the pan but blacked out wheel wells, engine bay and front of battery boxes etc. were painted black.
    72S, 72T now ST
