Once again...
« on: November 07, 2008 - 08:48:42 AM »
I'm bored and start looking at ebay to see whats out there and come across an ad for a 73 Cuda. Pretty nice car. I read the ad and it states that the underbody is very solid. As I scroll down the pictures I come across one that show the undercarridge and notice to the left rear of the picture what appears to be a very large patch in the floor board that had been riveted in!!! Being in an "internet police mood" I email the guy and start off by telling him that he has a nice car but what was what looked to be a large patch in the floor over the muffler? He writes back that he doesnt know what I'm talking about and the floors are a solid as the ones in his new Dodge truck!!! You guys take a look and tell me if you see what I see!

PS: look closely over the muffler on the left side of the picture.

That appears to be in the trunk area instead of the floor board, and it does look rivetted.

You would think he would at least try to cover it with undercoating.

The trunk pan is mostly hidden by the gas tank. It looks like maybe under the rear seat???
