Correct Gas Tank Color for '70 AMX

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

Got the gas tank for my '70 AMX ready for paint. Can anyone tell me what is
the correct color? Looks like it was black from the factory.

Thanks,

Steve,
This is interesting, the gas tank in your 70 AMX looks like it was painted
black,
the gas tank in my 70 Javelin SST has a light grayish color undercoat on it.
I know
this is correct because I've had the car since May of 1972. The tank is
still the
original one. I have been told that undercoated tanks are not in the
industry
anymore. I have been wondering about this for some time, and since there are
few AMC's in my area to compare to, I've never been able to figure this one
out.
Do you guys think that my tank was undercoated at the factory or at the
dealership?
