Found this maple leaf tag under the rubber floor in the red Canadian 70 L78.

Aw yes, good old fashioned air fresheners. Bought many back in the day.

I was helping a friend recently with his newly discovered car and found 2 Eisenhower silver dollars under the back seat.

In my Z28, I found a golf size pencil that says Thompson Dragway, an ear plug and a cigarette butt!
In my Chrylser 300, I found a really old craftsman 1/4 drive rachet. At least it was useful!!

----My toolbox has been the recipient of many finds over the years. Back in 1974 I ordered a new Corvette coupe. When I picked it up I drove straight home and started cleaning it up. While vacuuming the rear compartment I felt a lump under the carpet. Pulled the carpet up and found a two inch high pile of nuts and bolts......Bill S

Back in January of 1993 I was able to document the build of the Viper (Vin #102) that eventually became our Project Pit Viper for Mopar Muscle Magazine. Right when this photo was being taken the guys stepped away while installing some components in the trunk. The assembly line tech with the mustache left his 1/4" drive Snap On ratchet in the trunk and I didn't discover it until the car was delivered and I did the dealer prep on it. (That was a conditon of buying it for my dealer - I was going to be there to document every sticker and wrapper that came off that car). I have that wrench in the safe deposit box along with every single piece of paper, sticker and wrapper that came off the car. I contacted the assembly line foreman and offered to return the wrench but he said to keep it with their compliments.



Here's the thread on the car:

It wasn't my car thankfully, but when my father was a kid going through junkyards he found a shoe on the back floor of a totaled car. Unfortunately that shoe wasn't empty. Some poor SOB lost their foot in a recent accident and for some reason nobody looked through the car to find it. I guess the car was crushed pretty bad. Sounded like a fatality for sure.

We got a few of the cars out this past weekend from their winter quarters. While washing the 70 Orange Cooler Nova I noticed a 'peach pit' sitting in the rain gutter of the front cowl. It must have been in the hood and fallen out when I opened the hood to finish drying the car. This is one of the many <span style="font-style: italic">Georgia momentos </span>that came with the car from my buddy &quot;lowmile&quot;.

I was ready to call 'foul' on your peach pit story until you mentioned 'lowmile'!! That orange Nova was found in Texas, I think it was sold new from Mustang Chev, perhaps in San Antonia (??), so I'd think you'd find something cowboy related....

Mark lives in Georgia...he has plenty of peach pits!

Car was sold at Mustang Chevy in San Angelo, Texas.

The original owner was a cowboy...he looked like a weather beaten Randolph Scott.
