A Vintage Racecar Found Underneath a Bed in a Very Old Home

[jolteon]

I was very excited when I found this, I found this Vintage Racecar in a old 1800's home and I got it out. (Same home I found the cache and all of my finds.) Anyway Since I cant take the bed apart because I don't want to destroy the bed that is used so it took 45 minutes to get out! The story is the bed is from the 50's or the 60's but 5 kids grew up in this house in the 70's. 2 boys occupied the room and dropped things like toys and baseball cards and did not even realize it. Then 45 years later they get recovered and are mine. Any information about the car would be great and ill post some pictures later!!! Thank You

Cool, that's a turbo trans -am. 79-81.... Made around then I think. Looks like fun, Maybe there's a Mickey Mantle baseball card in there somewhere!

Often the bottom of the car will have some clue as to the manufacturer.
Good job fishing it out.

Well keep in mind that someone finds a jar that is from the 1950's the son who found it says it is a 70 year old jar!! Now the father calls it trash cause he saw the same kinda jar when he was a kid. Now the grandfather even worse!!!! Everyone has a opinion!!

Cool car, I had one just like it when I was a kid. I was huge into little cars unfortunately many ended up with bottle rockets taped to the roofs and shot down the street.
