My bankruptcy was dismissed last year but I have no idea what happened to the money and car that I turned over to the trustee. According to the trustee's office they don't give an accounting of the money. That doesn't seem right! Can anyone answer this question?

Usually the Ch. 7 trustee issues a report to the court indicating where the money went, at least in California where I practice. Did you check and see whether any such report was filed with the court?
You can check some bankruptcy records online with the PACER system. Your court should be available online at www.uscourts.gov.

was it a chapter 7 bankruptcy or a chapter 13.
on the car if there was a lien on it, it is sold and the company with that lien is given the money.
on the cash, court fees are taken out, and the rest is divided according to a schedule of secured and then unsecured debtors.
Was it dismissed ( meaning you are not going to get to go bankrupt) or was it discharged meaning the bankruptcy is final
