Strangest thing found in your A body???

Nothing in my A-body, but under the bench seat in my '68 B-body, I dug up a stainless steel pocket wallet. Inside was a foreign driver's license and credit cards (all currently active), gas receipts, a US 5-dollar bill, and business cards of ritzy art dealers from the Florida Keys.

After some quick Google and Facebook research, I realized these belonged to the gay lover of the guy who sold me the car. Ok, fine, I don't hold that against him.

HOWEVER - that same day, I also discovered that the 318 that the seller claimed to have been "rebuilt" had three cylinders with near-dead compression from bad rings. How convenient that the muffler and tailpipe were missing when I took it around the block - hard to tell anything at that. Also found that the alternator threads in the left head were stripped clean, with epoxy holding the bolt in place, in addition to a number of other obvious cover-ups that contradicted what I was told by the seller.

Needless to say, I wasn't too happy with the lying SOB who sold me the car. Given the bum engine, I wound up paying pretty hefty for a 4-door '68 shell.

So, rather than return it, I shredded the driver's license and credit cards, polished and flipped the wallet on eBay, and spent the $5.
