I was removing my rear bumper last night on my 73 swinger and out pops a hide-a-key that had an original ignition/door key in it.the box was rusty but the key is mint!I thought it was a nice find since all i had was a copy.

Glad you found an extra but as a word of warning, do NOT use those!
Crooks and tire guys find them all the time.

Lol working as a mechanic for the past 15 or so years I have found probably 15 hide a key boxes in cars. Just last week I found one in a 68 olds 442 convertible stuck to the inside of the front bumper. I found a full set of original keys for my old 66 dart wagon with the original key code tag still attached just hanging by a piece of wire inside the right front wheel well. It always cool to find that kind of stuff!
