I have a 1971, manufactured in Dec. 1970 and the 18GK engine color is,
well, rust :^)) Sorry, really red! Also have a 1971 manufactured in
March 1971 (my organ donor) with an 18V engine, probably changed by one
of the DPO's and it is black. This engine just ended up in the earlier
'71. Running without the smog stuff since no emissions required on
older cars here.
