Mine was bare metal and I have seen them with a black primer but not any tar.

Are you referring to the inside or bottom side? Many cars were undercoated underneath. If it's on the top side, someone may have put some early bed liner type material on it to cut down noise.

Why do you want to remove it if it's on the inside?

i would leave it. it is probably some type of undercoating. it does cut down on noise and rust.

It might be hiding a patch to the floor pan. What does the underside look like.
