My wife and I moved into our current home in 1992. I was on a car collecting spree for the ten years prior to that, and I had to stash a lot of car parts. I wrapped up a lot of stuff, put it in boxes in the bottom of closets throughout the house. As time went on, more stuff went on top of the boxes.

In the 35 years since moving in, I've forgotten what was in all of the boxes because I didn't mark the outside of the box.. There are a lot of rare Pontiac parts, plus a lot of stuff I forgot I had.

One of my closets has a bunch of old stereo equipment. I had a pretty nice Harmon Kardon Citation series stereo system with Infinity Reference Standard speakers. I also had a lot of albums and a few 45s. I've got albums from Blondie, Van Halen, Three Dog Night, Rare Earth, Pat Benetar, ELO, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Asia, Journey, etc. My wife has a few albums up there too, but I'd like to toss them. Lionel Ritchie, Air Supply, and Rick Springfield are at the top of the list to toss.

It's going to be interesting digging through all of that old stuff.

Looking for 1973/74 Firebird stuff.

i moved over 25 years ago and still havent unboxed numerous boxes.

You have my empathy. We moved 4 times with the beater and its boxed parts collection. It's extra work but I could not toss any of it. Way more fun to re-bond with car parts than winter jackets. Same with the stereo and vinyl. I finally tossed a set of Infinity speakers 2 years ago but still have my old Dynaco, AR XB, and albums. You are not alone.

If you find a really nice condition air cleaner assembly for a 1968 GTO 4 barrel carb, let me know.

Enjoy.

Moved PA-East to PA-West, rid of rear axles, TH400 largess
Moved PA-AL rid of nice TH400 & engine stuff, some Wood Speakers.
Moved AL-to-PA-west onset of covid, and felt great relief to be back in PA) sold large TV, sold most all my wood speakers.
Moved PA-AL (bought sight-unseen hellhole, flipped in 3-months and moved to 5-acre rural retread; Cd-play with projector in Barn upper for movies, with invites.

Sold 68 GTO while in AL. Now building a 421 for my pristine 96 Towncar.

There's a point; wife wants to move back to PA to be a positive influence to the 8 grandkids. Just put offer on PA-west home ( realtor says some others are looking at it (uhuh). AL Neighbor (an expert welder from western PA wants 2 more TH400s built and a 4L80 built. He better get them cores to me soon.) So move up will include PMD engine, Beer can collection, and tube stereo hobby are the only largess compared to furnishings. I need to look at 2 pristine 95 Towncars with engine trouble before pulling up this carpet. HIS

Let me know when you get to the unmarked box of QJet cores.

[Half-Inch Stud]

Ditto...unmarked boxes of beer cans, tubes, shippable things of that sort.

[poncho-mike]

I wish I knew you collected beer cans. Somewhere around 1984 or 1985, I bought a 1971 GTO with right side front end damage. It was nothing special, just a 400 auto w/ac. I remember the owner saying he was drunk when he wrecked it. It sat in a field beside of my in-laws house until about ten years ago. After they passed away, I parted it out.

When I opened the trunk, this is what I found. My son opened one of the cans, and it really stunk.

I have a six pack of Billy Beer cans (empty). Any interest?

[poncho-mike]

Billy Beer was nasty 50 yrs ago, I can't imagine how bad it would be today. Most people who bought a six pack would drink one and pour the rest out (unless they were already drunk). I was in college when Billy Beer came out. It's definitely a novelty item.

No sir, try Facebook mktplace.
I have 1, and that is enough for a garage decor row of low/no value cans.

The finds of the day:

- H-O Specialties HC-62 cam (new, never used)

Senility can be fun.

It’s like Christmas every time you find something you forgot about. Ask me how I know.

Ultra frog hair items now . Great discoveries Mike !
New Year starting out good !

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

H.I.S. probably trades in the more vintage cans that had to be opened with a can opener.
The good ol' really really old days

I remember those days , but was very very young.

In my teens we laughed about seeing an old rusty beer can in the ditch that was triangle pierced.
Yeh , they rusted back then. Not aluminum
