    1972 Dodge Challenger. Was the battery tray the same color as body color?

    From what I have heard around here it could be either body color or black.

    Body color originally, no exceptions.

    If you have a black one in a car that is not black, it has been replaced at some point. Early replacements were a redish primer, sometime around 1980 the primer switched to black.

    Cool, nice to know. I guess I need to take one more thing to the painter along with my scoop inserts and mirrors.

    Yup, I bought one from the dealer in the early eighties and it is semi gloss black.  Some day I will even get to put it back in the car!
