I have a 72 GTS, Q code that I am restoring. While doing some bodywork I came across 4 dimes that were secured in the door jambs and on the ends of the doors. Has anyone ever heard of or seen this before?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Danno |

Manufacturing error.
Those are supposed to be installed on the brakes. Makes the car stop on a dime. (Boo!!! Hisss!!!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpaOy8b8X6A I guess there are many questionable ways to do bodywork.

If your Lincoln Memorial penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating.
