When i was taking my interior out, i found a canadian quarter on each of the frame rails under the interior.

The carpeting was never removed by the previous owners, i am the first one to give the car some love.

Anyone else found anything like this in their car?

What year are the quarters?

 

 

took a second look at them and they are dated

"1985" which is the year of my car.

Laugh all you want, but i thought it was kinda neat.

Who knows what might've happened or why. I had a friend who was always complaining about the noise in the driver's door. Turned out to be a coke bottle.

everytime I part a third gen I usually end up with at least $5 in change from under the center console, carpet and dash, Is your coincidence special maybe, is finding change in evey car I part good, I would say so!

 

I'm still saving for my third gen Iroc, but when I striped my '89 escort (I know, F*rd), my buddies and I found something like 35 cents in various change, two legal clips, a paper clip, and a build sheet or something.
We also found a hole straight through the floor, but that got tallied in the losses column.

 

I happened to get a smokers car (though it doesn't smell like that at all). I found 2 crack pipes that were wedged between the center console and the carpeting when I stripped the interior. That and like $20 in change

 

Thru 6 3rd gens and 5 fieros:

A plastic precision balancing scale
Half a toolbox's worth of old sockets
2 toolbox's worth of broken tools
Bout 30 various cassettes
A used condom
Half a set of golf clubs
Bout 10lbs of lug nuts - Collection? Just loose under the cargo box
A dead squirrel - lil runt got stuck in the heater core
Bout $30 in change and small bills
Bunch of wallmart speakers- blown
A 6 disk cd changer -water logged
Berlinetta Digi dash -works! Listed as a RS so it was a surprise

Im sure Im forgetting some stuff

 

two expired condoms, in package, one dated from 93 in a buddies camaro under the carpet. about 6 dollars in change from my GTA.

 

yeah i found about 8 dollars worth of change in my iroc, it was under the center console, how does all that change end up in there??? is there a little illegal alien in there stealing change from the drivers pocket??? (no offense to anybody meant)

 

lmao...

 

I guess that guy never got lucky
----------
I bet that crack head could have used that twenty

I have been wondering that myself, another good place to look for items is under the carpet under the console and alot of good stuff if you pull the dash

 

Ok, thanks for making me afraid to pull the dash. There were 2 very old air freshners underneath the dash pad, makes me wonder what else is there. Though I consider myself lucky. The first picture is before I pulled all of the carpet up. The back area (seats, carpet, foot area, etc) was really damp. In fact I had a mini lake back there where your feet go, there was standing water and it went no where. That was before. The second picture if after I pulled all the carpet out and cleaned it up. Amazingly, no rust whatsoever on the floor pans, though there is a bit of rust on the which I've since cleaned up.

 

I found two fifty dollar bills, a butterfly knife, and like a 1/8th bag of bud hidden under the carpet up behind the clutch pedal in an old car I bought years ago.. and I only paid $300 for the car to begin with!

 

I found a dried up french fry and a penny.......I feel jipped lol

 

I like looking through the cars people trade in at work. ( i work at a dealership) found a 1/2" drive flex head ratchet, binoculars, tons of change. CDs, knives, old stinky food you name it.

 

i found my missing door key under the carpet, under the center console, when i bought my vert.... i almost crapped myself, i was just getting ready to order new doorlocks !

 

I found a bunch of tools behind my dash. No clue how they got there. I also found enough money to buy a pack of ciggys. I bought my car for $75 from my friends bro. He had it stored at some garage run by bikers. They told him to get rid of the car, or else they'd break his knee-caps.
Score one for me

 

ohhh! got another. i pulled the lower GFX on the right had side and found a scredriver in my GTA. found an open end wrench and one windows worth of glass in the door of my 86.. somone had broken the window, and replced it, but they never pulled all the old glass out... no wonder the door sagged...

 

LOL, that reminds me one time I shut the drivers door on my Z and for no aparent reason the door glass just shattered. That was so long ago I almost forgot!

 

Was the Bud good????

 

I found a portable MP3 player, 35mm Point and shoot camera, lots of change, tools, knives, and flares in some of my 3rd gens.

 

I found a 100$ bill in one of the camaros I had stripped down. it was stuck under the rear seat bottom halfway under the plastic panell

 

lol

i see that i seem to not be the only one who finds money and odd items in vehicles i drag in here

and ive drug in a billion over the years,

found some crazy stuff in some of them

youd be surprised

found alot of change under the carpeting and console of the 82 t/a, about the most i have ever found in a vehicle, to date, and ive taken a ton apart now, over 100 by far

i love when i find tools, drill bit sets, flares, other cool stuff, fire extinguishers, its great


good luck

 

I've found a Pencil!!!!!!!

 

damn, after reading all this i feel jipped, all i found were two nasty *** ciggarette buts under the console. probably 10 years old too.

 

Only 2 cig butts? My car was owned by a lady that smoked. I'm still finding lipstick covered cig butts in my car I pulled out a lot from the center console already but every time I go in there another pops up outta nowhere. She also lost the spare tire hold down so there was a big fluffy lion pillow holding the spare tire from banging around LOL. Then a couple of probably used life savers candies between the trans tunnel and rear seats. Haven't pulled the carpet up yet so it'll be interesting when I do. Also in the little cubby hole in the back, there was a ton of stuff. Power steering stop leak, trans fluid, motor oil and brake fluid. Well I soon found out why the power steering stop leak was in it, the box leaked like crazy.

 

you always find at least 1 fry in a used car, its not possible not too lol i did in the firebird

 

i found a few cig butts under the carpet of my car when i got it and maybe a litttle change, however when i had my 71 cutlass vert it was like finding a convience store under the carpet

no lie, i found a shampoo bottle, package of pencils, change, roll of duct tape, a putty knife, pliers, screwdriver, various food wrappers, and all the "missing" bolts for the car haha

 

Had the car in at the tranny shop and it was squeaking so the guy had it back up on the hoist and was poking the screw driver everywhere and found a magnetic keybox with a brand new door lock key in it...Wish I had known about that before when I locked myself out of the car numerous times lol

After tearing out the carpet in my car I found about $30 in change (mostly mine) and about $10 in american money. Found all sorts of weird looking bugs ive never seen in canada before (dead of course) and that was about it really...
