What is the correct color 73.5 2.4 engine

[LV911]

My engine is getting a full overhaul done on it. I'm looking for a few correct ( factory) colors or disarible colors on
Engine shroud
Valve cover
Engine tin
Engine cover
Engine compartment

[ESully]

Engine shroud came in either Yellow or Black. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...-73-5-cis.html
The engine compartment is body color.

Don't put much stock in that thread! The factory painted yellow fan shrouds black for CIS cars. One poster claimed that a PO painted his fan shroud. That was an assumption on his part and is probably wrong.
CIS 73.5 Ts had black fan shrouds. I suppose there could be a couple exceptions, though.

I seen a few concourse restoration on some 73.5 & some had the yellow some had the black ! I just wasn't sure if the yellow was a factory option or just some one thought that it looks cool ! Thanks guys great info ! Learn something new everyday on this forum !

All 2.4 72 and early 73 Ts had yellow fan shrouds that were changed to black with the 73.5 CIS Ts. If you look at non-concours cars you will probably see yellow showing through cracks and gouges in black fan housings on 73.5 Ts.

On my 73.5 T, it was painted black from the factory and stripped to yellow gelcoat during the engine rebuild process.

Agree with posters above, on my all original, motor never out 73.5 it had a yellow shroud painted (quite poorly painted) black so lots of yellow poking out on the corners, etc.

Factory correct isn't always beautiful...
