AH! Thanks for jogging my memory Scott, reminds me of a question I have been meaning to ask.

My October build blue '70 GTX has what looks like factory "undercoating" on the floorpan that I was pretty sure had been there since day one but don't have a build tag or sheet.

I just took the hood out of storage where it has been lurking the past 20+ years and noted it has a thin coating of the stuff on the underside of the hood too, the same factory looking black textured stuff.

Thoughts?



The under coating on the underside of the hood is the clue. Full undercoat cars SHOULD have received a hood pad, so there wouldn't be undercoating there. My guess is that the UC was dealer added or by some aftermarket company back in the day, it was a VERY common "Day Two" add on, especially in the rust belt states.
