Well, this may sound sarcastic but its not.. Are you sure there is nothing loose in the trunk? Spare or jack stuff?

Can you make it do the noise when bouncing up and down on it?

check your quad shocks or bushings in the lower and upper control arms, last check your shocks,and the rubber bushings,they maybe dry rotted or cracked.

My Cobra used to do that and re-tightening all the control arm bolts eliminated the problem.  With the high mileage on your car, I would also check all the bushings for wear and tear.
