Can any one tell me if the 65 cadillac has a red oxide primer underside when new?

More than likely it did. Red oxide primer was pretty much standard across the auto industry back then, grey primer just creeping in here and there.

Wait are you asking about the continetal or a cadiliac?

Cadillac engines were their own color. The color is kind of a purplish blue. Or a dark blue.

If you open Google, search the car you want info on, in this case, the '65 Lincoln Continental, and then click on the "Images" link, you will find more pics of those than you can shake a stick on! I just did, and in about 2 minutes, I found this pic of a '65 Lincoln Continental engine, which is shown as all black: http://www.cars-on-line.com/photo/63800/65linc63888-8.jpg
