While I was cleaning out my 79 sa, I found the antenna, the air cleaner, some new seals and gaskets, the speakers tore out, a lot of dead spiders, $0.53, an old crownbar, some pliers, wire cutters, a screwdriver, and a whole bunch of rust, I think you got a better deal than I did.

I found tools, mainly socket drivers, nad a spare shifter in my '85.

In my '82 I found pills, spare bulbs, BONDO and lots of it, original spare tire (why is it bigger than the other four?) and the jack(where's the handle?)

Many, many years back I was gutting a soon to be race car for a customer. He purchased the car from impound or a towing company. Among all the normal stuff you would expect to find, we came across a previous owners social security card, license and birth certificate!!! Everything we needed for identity theft IF we were those kind of people. We were able to get a hold of the guy to get him his stuff back. He was surprised.

Never keep that type of stuff in your car. It may just disappear one night.

well, the reason I was taking out some of the carpeting is because I was sure some bolts below the carpeting where loose. I ended up finding $10.07 in coins (the rattle), and 2 spark plugs.
