[QUOTE=Tuxblacray]The Title..... sometimes it pays to pursue a deal with cold hard cash........[/QUOTE]
I still have not got my title yet. Been 7 months now. It pays to go to a dealer that is not going to pull a fast one on ya by closing up shop right after you pay for everything but before you get all your paperwork and tags!
I also found a german 1st aid kit in the back storage. Kinda unique I guess.

I was changing out the #4 body mounts and found a bone - YES a bone! Not sure what kind of bone it is but it is a bone! Some day I want to have it analyzed to see what kind of a bone it is - hope like hell it's not human.... I have a pic somewhere, I'll try to find it and post it.

Vette(s): My 1974 Vette sold last August 2014. I am still willing to show up to events and local gatherings if anything happening No new vette yet.
In working on my car i found that when my driverside fender was sanded down that it was glued in 9 different spots and my frame was bent by the front bumper but hidden with fiberglass.
I found a pair of glasses and 68 cents behind the dash when i replaced the speakers in it.
I found a old map for South dakota under the passenger seat when i pulled it out to replace the seats covers and foam.
Nothing else though. no bowling ball, though someone at one point installed a speaker box and amp and it works fine though i cant seem to see where they ran the wires at all. weird. i moved the box the other day and i saw there was a trunk light back there. i had the car for 5-6 years now and i still found something on my car i never knew i had before. gotta love vettes.

Vette(s): 1972 corvette stingray convertible
2007 coupe
My cousin owend the car before me, he always said there was a metal like rattle on the right side of the car but he could never find it. He had the car since 1975. When I was working on the suspension I was laying on my back waiting for my buddy to get a wrench for me and was just kind of looking around, I looked at the frame and in one of the cut outs I seen something black, after about 5 min of digging I pulled out the rattle that has haunted the car, a screwdriver. Not as exciting as the bowling ball or that brown crud, but it does have a history.
When I took off my front end I saw that somebody had molded a piece off rubber hose to reinforce the driver side fender well. Thats one reasoned why I trashed the whole front end. Yes its still a mess but getting better.
