I found a few neat things; another build sheet (he has one already), a coffee cup from 1968 that a line worker must have thrown down, and some markings behind the back seat. I'm not sure what they mean. Anyone venture a guess? They are V-6-21-21 in black marker. Dan's car has never been apart. Never, and he's the original owner. So I know the coffee cup must have been from a line worker, but those numbers escape me. His car has a lot of neat markings on it that I plan on documenting before I restore the car. Thanks for the help! Cheers 4762884-Dan\'sCar2003.JPG (155 downloads)

FWIW, this was found behind the rear seat back in a '76 Aspen SE: Car was blue (B5?) with a blue and white interior, so I'd guess the markings are for calling out interior colors for headliners, carpet, or similar?

Any chance the cups were used to hold a handfull of nuts, bolts, washers, clips, etc., needed for interior assembly? If there is coffee residue in the bottom (edge) of the cups then that erases that thought.......it seems odd that workers would jepordize being allowed to have coffee on the line by leaving trash inside of a car on purpose? Seems like a good way to hold a bunch of small parts needed for assembly. Send the cups out for DNA testing to see if we can ID the lips that were on those cup rims

He still has the original spare holding air from 1968 as well. Neat to think that air has been in there prior to us landing on the moon!
