Missing wrench...found

Well this was an interesting vintage thread resurrection.



Someone's got to say it.......

In the mid 70's, I bought a 67 Dart and a 67 Barracuda parts car to help fix up the Dart. Then I bought a repo 70 Duster 340 car with the engine and trans gone but still had the 8 3/4 in it so in the Dart the rear end went. Then I noticed that the complete interior from the Duster would probably fit the Dart and it did! Buckets and all went in. Fast forward several years when I parted the Dart and when I pulled the buckets out, one fell over and the sun caught something bright. It was a clear sandwich baggie with a good ounce of brown pot in it! I had been driving that car for years and driving it hard. The rear had a 3.91 gear and it would scream. Once I even got a ticket for excessive noise by spinning the tires. This was when you could spend 2 years in jail for possession of pot. Man, from then on, I go over ALL used cars with a fine tooth comb before driving them!

Back in the 80’s when late 60’s Mopars were still being junked... we used to check ash trays for roaches. You could usually find enough for a couple of bowls.:D
 
If your hands aren’t to big, it always interesting to probe around in the drop offs in the trunk side. Lots of stuff rolls off into them over the years. I’ve dragged several items out of them on my 66 and 67 with an extension magnet including a combination wrench that might have been mine or someone else's. Another option is to snake a video cam probe down in there.
