    I bought a car last year for a parts car and it didn't have any keys to it and I couldn't get into the trunk, well today I took the seats out to give to a guy and realized now I could open the trunk from the inside. Well with the help of the neighbors small kid I got it opened today and look what was inside! A nearly perfect chrome grill and light set!!! it was wrapped in bubble wrap and some had stuck to it but with a little alcohol it came right off. There was also a very nice floor shifter a new set of Monroe shocks, a Moroso Red anodized air cleaner, 8 quarts of oil a Puralator filter, and a Mustang hood scoop with 351 emblems on it!, man if I knew all of that was in there I could have saved some money on e-bay. Anyway I really like the new grill, it kinda finishes out the car now.
