Yep, they do. I have 2 examples of low mile unrestored cars here ( a 70 Ram Air Formula and a 69 SCJ Mach 1).

They were both somewhat grungy underneath, granted older, but under 50k miles. Seems here in AZ dust is everywhere, and it attracts to everything. It's not long before they look grungy, mud and grime, tons of dirt roads around here to access many areas. Creates tons of dust and dirt and mud, and I'm sure this trucks been down many dirt roads if it spent any time at all in AZ. It's especially an issue if the vehicle has a leak somewhere at one time. However a little time with soap and water, some light scrubbing, and you can remove it without disturbing the orignal paint and chalk markings underneath, which should nearly all still be visible on a true low mileage vehicle, and provide a wealth of information.
