Never seen one and damn sure don't want to. (Is it an Oky thing?)

Found the cargo cover and net still in the factory bag in the center storage. Owner said it didn't come with them new, guess he never looked. It did blend in well with the black carpet/black bag. Also got the VHS tape and a maintainence file that he found later and sent to me.

Are you fukin' kidding me? What are the odds of finding 1; let alone finding two. Go out and buy a lottery ticket. Lady luck is on your side.......if you can imagine that .

The only thing I found is that the owners manual was missing.

Oh, and I found an extra $100 off. That was because I was dealing with two different people when I was negotiating the price of the car. During the last round of negotiations, the one guy meant to reduce the car by $1000 dollars; but instead reduced it by $1100 dollars by mistake. So when the deal was finalized they had to give me the extra $100 discount because it was promised - even though they did not want to.

Oh, and also, when I was looking into buying the car, I was told that there was only 1 key. Just before the deal was finalized, I was already looking into how and where to get a second key made to purchase. When I went to pick up the car, I was surprised when they handed me two keys.

Also found the regular dirt and whatever in the interior that I thoroughly vacuumed up; and also found all kinds of road debris in front of the rad that I wasted no time cleaning and vacuuming away.

Unfortunately, I did not find any pictures of naked chineese men. Some people have all the luck.

Ha ha.

I found the right head light motor gear was bad and the left side a/c actuator needed recalibrated, both I promptly fixed. I did find a nice car cover under the second targa top in the back and lots of maintenance records in the glove box. The vehicle was very clean inside and out and my first vette purchase. I still have the "found grin"

I found that whoever installed the battery didn't bother to tighten it up - but not until some battery acid had spilled out and made a big mess. And a nice gouge on passenger side rocker...
