ktown, was your car originally white? Others can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I don't believe Ruddy Red was ever used on white cars.

No, my car was never white. It is Gobi Beige with Sandalwood interior, as per the trim tag and I guess it's on the POP.....have not looked. My camera and the sunlight made that photo "wash out". Maybe I just need to dig a little deeper to find the primer, but it's certainly not anywhere inside the car.

Maybe I have a super-rare-non-ruddy-primer-Nova........hehehe....

1970 Camaros built at Norwood, OH were primed with the "RED". Los Angeles 1970 Camaros were primed "BLACK"
I'll attach pics of the 5000 mile ORIGINAL Black 1970 Z, which I believe is currently owned by Marty W......

ktownkid;

My Jan 1970 Gobi Beige Nova used the red primer. I thought the under side was gray so I bought gray paint. After I scrubbed the underside I saw tons of red. One place to look (might have told you this already) was under in the rear wheels near the quater lip. Take a plastic scub brush and water based degrease to clean it up.

The Norwood Camaro color is red while the Willow Run color is almost a brown.

The picture shows the orignal color with the OEM paints Camaro red. Not even close.

M,

I have seen Gray, Ruddy Red, and Black. I am not sure if it is realted to the top color or different batches used. Willow Run cars were batched painted at Fisher Body. May be that has something to do with it.

My 70 L78 Cranberry Red Nova has the ruddy red primer. Car was restored but original photos show the underside with that color. This is also a Canadian delivered car if that makes a difference. Built late dec/69.
