    Hey everyone while removing my seats this fall I found 2 papers that were identical underneath the seats, I tipped the seats over they were held up underneath one of the wire suports in the seat I was suprised at how good the condition of the paper was in. I suspect that it's a build sheet for the car, it tells you diffrent codes or build options for diffrent parts of the car.
    I was wondering if anyone else ever came across one before? It was kind of a cool find for me.

    My 77' Maverick had 4 build sheets under the seat. There are a couple of Mavericks and a Comet out there that did'nt get theirs because someone at the factory stuffed them in my car instead.

    Did you say you found my 18 Karat gold ring with 7 opals in it? My wife cried for years after she lost that.

    just kidding. Cool find, though. I took the back seat out of her Bonneville last night to put in a new battery, and found some dried old soda, a couple of kid's stickers, and a penny. I like your find better. Oh, yeah, and a broken battery terminal that was leaking acid. That cost me 80 bucks!
