<VV> Found in Your Corvair

[Les]

My '63 Spyder came with a 1963 Franklin half-dollar under the screwed-on galvanized floor panel. I figure a factory worker left it there for me to find, nearly 50 years later.

Smitty Says:  A man called me one time saying he had a corvair in his yard that had been tagged by the city for removal within 48 hours.  (no title).  He said it ought to be worth $10 for parts if I wanted it.  I towed it home and proceeded to cut it up in disposable pieces, leaving the floor pan and running gear for last.  I found the usual buck and a half in miscellanious pennys and quarters under the carpets etc.  When I flipped it over to remove the running gear a roll of dimes rolled out on the ground.  I had gone over the floor with the carpets out and have no idea where the dimes were hiding.
  When I got Spike, he had no floor, therefore I was amazed to gather over $2,50 in change as I chiseled the remaining shards of rust from the car before making a new floor.
