Engine Color Question

I know my 72 has a orange painted engine in it. But what years did they change to blue and then change to black?

Re: Engine Color Question

blue was early to mid 70's I believe, and black woulda been late 80's. 87 or so I'm thinking.

Re: Engine Color Question

73 for blue and 87 for black would make sense but not possitive
