When I put in my fourth gen console I found a new key with a microchip in it under the carpet. It didn't even have the hole punched out on it for the keychain. I put it in the igntion, and it starts the car. Saves me the $30 or so I've been meaning to put into making a spare key.

 

Kool....

Did you find a V8 under there too?


Just playin with you man...

I have a '86 So i do not have the chip, spare key's are as easy as wal-mart.

My buddy lost his only key for his '91 maro once....that was no fun!

Out in the boone docks w/ no cell.

 

I read a thread on here a while ago where alot of people were saying that they found them under the passenger side carpet, and under the console area carpet. I guess the consensus was that the assembly line workers would accidentally drop them in the car, and it was easier and cheaper for GM to just put another key in the car than stop the assembly line to find the key. One guy even said that he found an entire keyring of GM master keys buried in a seat.

thats some pretty good luck, i always look forward when i first get a thirdgen what i will be finding when cleaning it out.

i found $10 and a diamond ring under the the carpet of a iroc i got at the junk yard

 

I found a ziplock bag of orange paintballs, a golf club, a blockbuster employee tag with "Rob" on it, a baseball, a new oil filter, and some cut wires and extra fuses. Everything but the golf club was in the trunk in the locked compartment.

~Matt

 

what golf club was it?

 

The almighty 9 iron, and it had a note attached to it. Now the golf club is my rear hatch strut, haha

~Matt

 

I got a cool Chevy blanket in my 89 IROC. I got a 5 inch thick shop manual, a yellow broomstick for a hatch lift (now being used as the prop rod on the 89 IROC hood), um there was no radio but there was a aftermarket stereo adapter kit, and a what looked like a 10 year old cigarette under the center counsel when i took it apart in my 86 IROC.

I found a pack of 89 donruss baseball cards.Opened it and it was a bunch of commons There was a wade boggs in there

 

You people using strut replacement props, be forwarned. I did the same thing until I noted the hole it made in my hood. If you replace the gas struts, you'll be amazed you didn't do it sooner. I got mine on eBay and they work worlds better then the ones I made do with! Never found ANYTHING other then garbage in mine and my spare key is gone too ugh! haha
