    My '71 has a black engine bay which appears to be original. Lord knows I've scratched it enough to find out.

    I have checked my car out fairly close and it was originally black under the hood. The only thing I can come up with is maybe they went to body color mid year in 71 since mine is an early build from Kansas City.

    My early 72, built in KC, was body color originally.
