Engine compartment on these was always black, I believe. That’s why it’s tough to tell the color change if it was done well, and this one appeared to be.

Didn't see that. I was guessing based upon the colour of the inner fenders in the photos showing the engine. Maybe back then they were not the same colour as the car.
