The panel is blue and was never black. The Deepwater Blue is very dark. There are a few lighter blue spots where the owner tried to sand the remnants of the emblem outlines off (see 1st post) and I think that is what you are seeing. The 4th hole being open where the gascap goes would be to hold on the SS cap? I do not have the cap. I am open to all help as very little info is known about these cars. I will post pic of Yenko # tag in a min.

In reference to your question about the rear panel being blacked out or not, I am re-looking into the issue. After thinking about your question I went back out to the car. The tail is not in the sun and it is hard to tell. When I pulled it out in the desert it sure matched the paint on the car. I rubbed on it and still cannot tell the difference. I think the black would be satin or flat though and it is not. If you look at the pic again you can see what I mean when you try and compare the tail with the lower panel. This color is almost black. I am going to remove a taillight and see what is under there. If it is black I owe you an apology. Did anyone notice ralley sport taillights? Seem born in the car, with wires spliced in rear to make work??

Want to post a picture of the taillights?

Also not all of the SS gas caps were painted black on the Yenko's. Have seen pictures of both.

Thanks CamaroJoe,
I do not have the gascap, but it does have the hole for a SS cap?? If the rear panel was not black what color would the cap be? The seller has been collecting nos parts for years, it all goes with the car. I just have to spend a few trips digging it all out.
