A crack pipe under the seat would scare me LOL! I kept the pipe Steve found as a souvenir of the times, and Minnesota actually just legalized cannabis, so I don't think its even illegal to own at this point.
A few days ago I called the previous owner of the car. I had kept his number for the last 8 years and wanted to send him some pictures; so many people buy project cars and let them languish forever, I figured he would appreciate it that I actually did something with the car I bought from him. He laughed out loud when I told him about the pipe; he said that it wasn't his, but the kid he bought the car from seemed like the type. He also told me that he had asked the kid about how the original 428SCJ engine got damaged. Apparently the kid had bought a new Sun Super Tach II (which is still in the car and still works), saw 8000 RPM on the dial, and with a carload of his buddies decided to show them that the engine could bury the tach needle! Needless to say, he failed LOL! Apparently the kid traded the broken 428SCJ for a running 390GT motor, and put that in the car before he sold it.
