Are you sure the '63 engine bays were black?    The black-only engine bay
color began in '64, not '63.    I've had several '63 Vairs and their engine
bays were always body color.    So were all the rest of the ones I've seen
which hadn't been repainted something different... or, they were already
black outside to begin with.      ;)
