It was all over my Willow run 66 Nova, but never checked my 70. Safe to say they did it through the years at WR.

My 69 SS nova is a survivor car also with no undercoating and has no signs of red oxide that I can see.

Default 1969 nova red oxide on floor

Larry,

My 19,000 mile 69 L78 that I have owned for 28 years does not show any red oxide on floors. It is a May car.

There are many cases of red oxide primer being used on Novas built at WR, most were black though....
