Depends on the year, early HJ's were portland grey while the later HJ's were all black.

I know it has a hj sandman facia with the blanked out vent, shame the radio was cut out and a ford tape player was put in by the last owner (which is now gone). I know it was built in 75 but not sure what month. The info has been helpful thanks.
