68-70 Nova Gas Tank blackout.
I have two 1970 Novas that were never undercoated or repainted. Both have Customer Interior and Exterior Decor Package. Both had the gas tank blacked out. This was much like the assembly manual considering assembly line reality.
I have seen many other original Novas but none with the gas tank blackout. Has anyone else seen other Nova with gas tank black out? Greg

My 69 survivor SS nova has a lot of black on the gas tank, not fully blackened out. It to was never undercoated. Its a late 68 build.

Re: 68-70 Nova Gas Tank blackout.
That is it. Just blacked out on the sides and rear? What interior or exterior packages?

Re: 68-70 Nova Gas Tank blackout.
Yes, they were just lightly blackened out on the sides and rear area of the tank, going forward to about where the tank bends.. I'm willing to bet this was done at the factory to eliminate any headlight or other light glare at night off the gas tanks because much of the tank is exposed when looking at it from the rear of the car... Just a thought, maybe this is not the reason...

My 69 L78 Nova has a blacked out tank as well, looks to be original as some of it is flaking off

Re: 68-70 Nova Gas Tank blackout.
What type of material was used??? I take it that it was just a satin color of black paint used.Can anyone show some pics of what it looks like.I have to drop my tank due to a fuel leak i have on top somewhere.A lot of the black that was there came off from the leak and would like to put it back the way it was.
