Default Where was the hidden treasure

I just finished ripping the interior out of my 76. The carpet fell apart in my hands . I was expecting to find something under there after all the stories I've heard here..but nope..found a nickle.

On a side note..pan is alittle rusty and a small hole on each side...I'm gonna treat with pro15 and repair holes. Looks like surface rust in most places so a good sanding should take care of it.

Oh well...maybe I can find something when i pull the rear carpet out

As tight as you are there no chance any chage fell out of your pocket to get under the carpet.

Or if you had a fast car it would push the change right out of your pocket. My car probably has a few hundred buck in the back seat.
