Computer punch cards at the factory.....(A-body story!)

[gdrill]

I found an envelope under the drivers side rubber floor mat in my latest purchase. It's a 1972 Valiant. Best build sheet I've ever found as well! So the piece of "something" stuck to the jute drew my curiosity. After very carefully removing it (still wet jute and paper helped in removal) and peeling it apart it turned out to be an envelope containing a computer punch card. It is for this car as the sequence numbers on it match the build sheet. Just thought I would share this weird but cool find.

are you going to fix that car .....if you need anything, I am parting out a 72 valiant 4 door just like that. I have the whole car except fenders and grille and hood.

Ya I figured it was fairly uncommon. I'm actually going to make it run (carb kit / master cylinder) and I have a young gun who wants it. It was purchased as a parts car, but I seem to have the misfortune of finding them to good to cut up! It has less rust than any of the rest of my herd.
