Strangest thing found in your A body???

A litter of 3 kittens behind the rear seat. Didn't know they were there until we heard them crying. My wife bottle fed them and they all survived. I bought the car near Hazleton Pa. The mother probably jumped out.

I Went back where I bought it. They didn't own a cat. The mother had them in in the trunk behind the rear seat. The spare tire tub was rotted so it was the entrance for her.


A nest of Copperhead snakes in a 70 Road Runner. At the time I had a garage in Whitehall Pa. I bought the car sitting at the base of the mountain in Danielsville Pa where I live now. The car hit a cement colvert in 1970 . It sat there since. I was taking the clutch pedal assembly out when i felt something move across my hand. We saw it and flushed it out with the accetyline torch. When it came out we killed it with a shovel

The next day when I opened up. I walked in the shop and there were what looked to be like little cat turds all over the floor. As I walked by one it jumped at me. They were everywhere. for months until winter set in you had to be carefull of everything you moved. What was amazing no one got bit.

My next door nieghbor worked for me back then at age 16. I was just over there last night to tell him about my heartattack on the 18th and we started talking about old times. All the cars we did. The snakes were brought up last night . I remember not taking my nephew to the shop for a long time He was about 7 years old. he is now 32. That was a long time ago. I have pictures of that car and I believe the little turds.

Found alot of things but those stuck in my mind the most. I have been around buying stripping and restoring cars for a long time. I remember when I was 13 and had to help my dad. He was into Chrysler 300's. I loved looking through the cars for money. I think the first thing I learned was how to take a rear seat out. You know still today the first thing I do when a parts car comes in is look under the back seat. I have a Neon to do tommorrow. I'll make someone take it out for me but I will be the first one in. Those are the rules here at the shop.
