    I turned the front seat upside down to load it into my truck and noticed a folder for documents inside was the owners manual the fords version of the protecto plate the warranty from 1972 a cool folder about ford motor oil and all the receipts for repairs since the car was new plus all the registration cards and all the insurance cards till the original owner passed away in 1992 also inside was the emissions warranty and insurance policies . I also found two build sheets one under the seat and another one under the sill by the drivers door I was wondering what value this adds to the car if any and what has anyone else found under the front seat of there car

    Value as in: $$$$$$

    I would say none.

    If anything......they are just neat items to have.

    I originally found that thin paper stuck in the springs, and all the documentation from when purchased new, including insurance, supplemental life insurance, etc.

    Nowadays, I keep finding a Kimber Ultra CDP II in .45 ACP...:cool:
