Hi, I have an original 1972 Panther, that is in excellent to mint condition. My question is that the hood is dark grey, rather than black. The hood is original, and other than a slight spider crack, it's in great cond, still very smooth and shiny. I have heard from other people familar with Arctic Cat that occasionally in the early 70's that the color tint would be off slightly in the beginning or end of a production run, but they would let it go through anyway. I am just wondering if anyone can confirm this for me. I have taken this sled to some shows, and have a hard time convincing some judges that this is an orig. hood. It has taken 3rd place, but I might be able to get a 1st place if I can provide proof. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks
