My car had a few spare parts, including a fuse and lighting kit. The fuses
are the original 3AG bodied fuses with paper slips inside to indicate the
amp rating of the fuse. It also had left over food particles (I think after
15 years of being parked) and a letter from a former girlfriend telling him
to move his stuff out of her place. I kept the letter and the fuse/lighting
kit for the next owner.
My 68 came with an original Toyo 5:20S14 bias ply tire in the trunk. This
is the tire originally supplied by Datsun with these cars and it is in very
good condition. It holds air nicely and I don't think it has spent much
time on the road, if any at all. I also found a variety of low windshield
parts that I will probably be selling off soon.

Subject: Strange "presents" from PO's ?!?!?!?
Just got done helping out local roadster owner Matthew get his '67 through
emissions (a little tweaking and it sailed right through, BTW) Doing the
required bit of swapping roadster stories when the subject of finding weird
stuff in
newly acquired old cars came up. We decided that there's some pretty
interesting "C-archeology" going on out there..... so the question is...
"What is the strangest/coolest/most valuable/ most *what the hell?!?!?!?*
thing have you found in your old car ?"
I'll offer up the fact that Mark found a 3 year old, half used jar of
mayonnaise in the back of one of the Cortinas that resides here.
eeeewwwwwwwwww !
Just *why* was that in the car??
