In my rear storage compartment I found about 9 belts from an old ford ranger. Not creepy, just odd.

For the 3 months I had it before I tore out the old interior, I had no idea why my car was leaving a money trail!
Wanna talk about throwing money down the tube! lol

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

I found an NOS glove box cylinder under the back seat of a 43,000 mile 79 Formula I had when I went looking for the build sheet.

an NOS rear marker bezel under the back seat of an 81 Z-28 I had (along with a million acorns)!

$5.00 bill under the back seat of a T-41 72 LeMans.

Those were just last year - too much other neat stuff to keep track of.

When I bought my car I took it home one night and came back and paid for it the next day. After giving the previous owner the money he said "oh, I almost forgot" and pulled a loaded 9MM pistol out from under the passenger seat

I had to replace my interior door handle yesterday on my drivers door and I also found the same spring that tchernobog found in his door! I'm still quite confused on how it got there!

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

I bought my car in 1984, it was only 2 years old and I am the 2nd owner and back in 1989 when I started tearing the car down to begin the process of going through the car and restomodding it I found some auto workers lunch bag stuffed in the rear cavity of the passenger side, fortunately there was no food products in the bag just the trash from their lunch.

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

i just ripped up all my interior. found matches under the carpet, shuffled up some dirt... and found the original key to the car, since it opened the compartment in the rear. thought that was odd. who ever before me i suppose decided to change everything else to a new key, doors and the hatch. the best thing i found tho was the driveway... yes the driveway, there is a huge f@*#$ing whole in passenger floor board!!!!!!

I found this little chick rattling around in the airbox when I pulled the dash several years ago. Took it that my car was telling me her name, so it's been Lucy ever since

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

Found lots of empty walnut shells and even more sunflower seeds or something between my engine's runners.
The car had been sitting under a carport somewhere for a couple of years until I got it and the yard-squirrel began living ontop of the engine.
I would, too, if I was a squirrel!

I found Mcdonalds ketchup packets spread throughout the car and the spare key was duct taped underneath the ashtray. and a full pack of cigs jammed in beside the driver side seat. also had a rat living in my air filter housing (carbed car). and found a wooden bat in the cargo area came to find out that's what the guy was using to hold the hatch up.

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

i pulled the steering wheel from a car i usta own, and to my surprise, there was a small baggie of white powder. I bought the car from a city notorious for high crime. was about 18 and thought it was crazy at the time. but made sense because the center cover pops off easy, so i imagine someone got pulled over and put it in there and couldnt get it back out.

more like a cheap equivalent to granite. when I say chisel I don't mean a little tap here and there to knock it loose. It was taking shifts between me and my dad, both big burly guys that are getting sore trying to make the smallest dent, that was probably the hardest thing to remove that was weird in the car, might have to make a full list of everything to humor everybody.

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

When I got my 1989 GTA the guy said he only had 1 set of keys for it, after a few years of owning it I found the other set of keys that had never been used under the drivers seat, I sure was glad I never got around too haveing a set made.

A Gucci Mane album is probably the worst thing you could have stuck in your CD player, next to Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

I had found a ton of trash in my 89 camaro. The PO had apparently had bought a bag of mints at one point and mid dukes of hazard jump spilled them all over the car. I also found a crud ton of french fries all over the place.

While taking the door panels off, found one full sized ant farm in the drivers side door. with the clear plastic weatherstripping, i could see all the little tunnels of dirt. I thought it was funny.

85 Camaro. I replaced the shocks in the rear and when I pulled the carpet up, I found the original owners packet from the dealer. It has all the warranty info, all kinds of paperwork in a neat folder. The dealer keychains, and two more keychains that say "If found, please drop in closest mailbox Postage Paid". They have a serial number on them and an address to get your keys back I guess.

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

I found a nudey magazine under the seat... cleaned them seats intensely after that. History: Dad bought it from a guy with a blown motor, it sat in our shed for 7 years and he gave the car to me. Upon removing the seats to get to the carpet, i found that magazine lol.

this is because tweakers and heroin addicts love these cars...at least where i live anyway...

i just got done parting out an 85 camaro and i found: an EBT card, a blockbuster card, 3 empty bags of weed(still had crumbs in it), tons of costume jewelry, a pocket knife and toy alien in the defrost vents, about $5 in change, a tampon, and about 5 lbs of mouse turds

I bought a 90 300zx from a tow auction and i found a dope pipe, a scale covered in meth, and whole lotta blunts in the ashtray....

I bought an 84 supra and about 3 days later the guy I got it from calls me up threatening to kill me if I didnt bring the car back to him cuz he "forgot" something in the car....turns out he hid a ball of heroin behind the A pillar trim.....wtf right?

gotta love peirce county, washington! tweaker capital of the Northwest!

Kind of hard to believe that you bought a car at an auction and the original owner so happened to find you and your number. Last that I know of, the only people that know any type of info are the insiders of the auction. Hanson out a buyers into is a violation of your privacy rights. So that's why I can't find your claim credible. Also, carefull with the abbreviated slur remarks. It's considered as "bypassing swear filters" and you can land on probation. I know from experience.

Regardless of where you bought the car, you, being the buyer, got punked. I do find that somewhat entertaining. I bet you got nervous too after receiving a death threat and complied to the fullest. Haha. I refuse to post how I feel about you being belittled. But YOU exposed yourself in public. So punch yourself Internet banger.
Big words for a guy sitting in front of a screen.

Re: No doubt a pointless thread, but what's the weirdest thing youv'e found in your c

I found a small black rubber flying Bat under the drivers seat of my 67 Camaro. Someone must of had it hanging from the rear view mirror. I fixed the string on it and put it back on the mirror and sold the car a few years later with the Bat still hanging on the mirror.
