Interesting find above Cutlass fuel tank

1972 Cutlass Supreme, 59,000 miles, all very original, this car has never been apart. I am installing a Holley Sniper EFI system and dropped the tank last night to install an in-tank fuel pump. This tank has never been down, as all the bolts and fuel lines still had the original undercoating on them.

Now maybe this isn't unique at all, but attached is a photo of what I found attached the underside of the trunk. Didn't expect to see this, and not sure what good it would do in the event of a flat tire.....

Hummm, I've found build sheets between the tank and tar paper pad, but never seen one like this! Maybe someone was bored that day!

Wow! Maybe the guy on the assembly line lost the build sheet and didn't want his boss to know so he used those jack instructions instead. I would have done the same!

I think the person on the assembly line was wondering, "Now where did I put that trunk jacking instructions sticker?"

Yea, that's funny! Total brain fart on the employee's part. I wonder what exactly happened...I can only imagine.

I'd say this is unique.
