Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
Found a SH*TLOAD of ants munching away underneath the carpet in the front. The leaky T-Tops gave them a fresh water supply on a regular basis. It took about a month to get completely rid of them little SH*T'S. (The Z28 was out of service for a year). They were even in the ground FX's.

1/2 box of un-used condoms (thank God un-used) under back seat, 1/2 joint under console, pack of ZigZags under rear seat, firecrackers, $4.00 in quarters. All in same car. Must of been a fun car in its time!

The spring is from a 70's model corvette window regulator. I have replaced one on my friends 78 corvette . And in my 88 iroc i found 100 dollars , cig butts , acorns in the air box , and old motorola flip phone in with the spare tire . My 89 was pretty well maintained , except an old playboy mag under the rear seat .

That is quite possibly the funniest thing i have ever read...

I've been fixing up my 1991 Rs. I found a thousand candy wrappers, and then when my tail light went out i removed one of the rear panels in the hatch and someone had built a lock and key stash box into my camaro. You cant even tell unless you take the rear panel off. But the box is huge. Wonder what it was used for?
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
Well, it's not IN, but I saw this little critter on my tire earlier today, and decided to snap a picture.
Animals really seem to like Third Gens, huh?
Turtles, frogs, ants, caterpillars. I remember somewhere on this thread, some guy also found some kind of a rodent in his engine bay, I believe is was a badger or something of that sort? I don't remember at this moment, and don't feel like searching.
The red and black on that caterpillar makes me want to get a red IROC door logo, along with red Z28 badges, once I paint the car black. They really have some wicked hair do's.

I actually found an autograph of David Hasselhoff inside my driver's side door when I was swapping the side mirrors... I don't know how long it was in there or if it's actually signed by David Hasselhoff but really, I laughed so hard.

I just found a post it note with a listing of taco bell food under my console while doing a 4th gen swap. It made me hungry so I hopped in my truck and went to get some food. Other than that I haven't found anything in the ol' bird.

Yeah, we do.
Of course, it's kind of an unusual car to own over here. (it was never officially sold here) A lot of owners are organized in some kind of community and really care for their cars.

when i picked up the 91, one of the first things i did was change the tires. i found snails and some water in 2 of the tires...one front and one back. also, i found an accumulation of snails under the hood. did a carfax and no claims on file. car has always been registered in West Texas.

Over 5 year old Gummy bear that had melted to the side of the driver's seat and a Suburban light assembly crudely screwed into the dash leaving big holes in the plastic. sucked haha

I had a '85 TA about 10 years back that dog food would randomly fall from under the dash. It kept doing it until I stripped the car about a year after I bought it.
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
I found an old cassette; the band America: Greatest hits! haha . Also, a random picture, and framed, of a little kid? a compass, flash light, calculator, and a sweet key chain that i still use ever since I bought the car two years ago. Now all im finding is problems with this old junk.. But gotta love the Camaro!
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
Ever have one of thoes moments? Didn't find anything in my car but we did find some thing im my buddies 65 corvette. He bought the car for a decent price and we went through the entire thing and returned it back to a matching numbers April of 65 396 car. Wile doing the motor and trans I had to remove the shift plate. Under that plate there was a quarter. Nothing special, just a quarter. It was a mint condition 1965 quarter. No idea how it got there. 65 quarter, 65 vette....... Spooky
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
Looking underneath my car and found rolled up newspaper shoved up in my bumper..first impression i thought it was drugs. Took it to the police station and they didn't want the dog looking at it in-case it wrecked my car..so he said he has it documented in-case of ever get pulled over the township would take responsibility for it.
Free drug trafficking ticket there if i were into that type of thing!

Dead wasps are great....its the live ones that tend to cause more problems. I especially like it when they build a fortress inside the side-view mirrors.
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
So far I have found about $5 in change, a few ballpoint pens, brand new spark plugs, two pairs of ear plugs (wtf? haha), screw drivers, and some weird voodoo/mind reader cards haha
Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c
I found knee pads, a huge pile of screws (I haven't picked them up yet) and a few receipts in the back.
I was changing out the fan the other day, and found some piece of cloth (a sock or part of a t-shirt or something) stuck in between the radiators. Needless to say, it cools a lot better now.
