>>>No.   Black was only available later on, i.e. later 1970s and with the 
GT5/GT5-S cars.   Although there were 11 colors available in 1971, this was 
reduced to only seven starting in 1972; in late 1973 three more colors were added 
for the GTS (plus black, which was only used on the hood/decklid).

The later cars, i.e. GT5 and GT5-S, were substantially lower and wider than 
the early cars, and thus they didn't need (nor did they receive) the 
blacked-out treatment down low.
