Red Oxide Primer..

[WILMASBOYL78]

I was doing some cleaning of the undercarriage on the black 70 4spd car and noticed some primer showing through....beautiful red oxide finish. Car was undercoted with Ziebart back in the day....just wiping with some WD-40 took off some loose stuff and there it was. I will post some pics tomorrow (digital battery went south)...it amazes me how original this car is underneath...lots of cool details...real time capsule

Wilma, I tried to order a brand new '70 Nova SS in black and the dealer told me that color wasn't offered. I asked him to special order it in black or I wouldn't buy it. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it wasn't worth his time for what he'd make on the car. I left and bought a '70 MG Midget!

"I left and bought a '70 MG Midget!"

...That's a hell of a swing.

That had to be a sight; Verne's big carcass in an MG Midget!

Maybe he has some pictures....

I needed something inexpensive for college after I retired the '62 for drag racing, and it "fit me like a glove". Drove it for 10 years. After the Nova deal fizzled, what was left???

Wilma,
I sure am sorry for side-tracking your thread. I do have some pics of it, but not on computer. I got a lot of wide-eyed looks when I unfolded myself from that car. It wasn't much longer than I was!

By the way, I LOVE your Nova. IF that rat dealer would have let me order one, I KNOW I'd still own it today................!

My dealer told me I couldn't order those rims. How do they show coded on the window sticker?
