I think I found the original owners Debit Card, expired in 93. I also found 3 house type keys and $1.43 in loose change. Don't tell the IRS about the loose change, my taxes have already gone up enough this year!

 

lol

 

This thread makes me want to leave something epic hidden in my car should i ever have to get rid of it. Maybe ill stash a loaded AR mag somewhere in it or something

 

since i got a new to me third gen i now have a new list of things i can put up here lol

1. 4 t-top headliners
2. more poly inserts for swaybar end links than i can count, (1 gallon ziploc bag full)
3. 6 sets of coil springs for the rear
4. 3 almost new torque arms
5. 6 ecus
6. a piece of paper that said run forrest run, might be a hint for the car idk yet lol

 

I worked in a salvage yard when I was 19 and found some pretty strange stuff. A gun once, porno mags, one car had like $50 in change, the weirdest thing was a tooth with chunks of bone. Dude had his head blown off. Owner of the yard sold the seat out of the 80 F150. Buyer asked what was all over the seat. He told him "I don't know, I think one of the guys had lunch in there and spilled it." Hand to god, true story.

 

This is thread the best. Haha decided to share a little of mine finds. Anywhos i picked up '91 B4C awhile ago and started tearing it apart. Taking the seats out I found the usual change, candy, cig butts, and dog hair. Then upon pulling the center console I found a genuine brass knuckle that slipped must of found its way through the e-brake slot. Bada$$. Then it the drivers rear quarter there was a autobody hammer. A little rusty but a nice brand. (still have it just can't think of the name) Then there is tonight, cleaning the passenger side floor pan I found a 9mm bullet hole. Haha made my day. THis summer my buddy bought a '85 Camaro. Up by the ALDL connector there was a crack pipe and lighter. Gotta love these cars and the type that used to drive them.

 

I bought a Honda acorrd and it came with a sock and a zip tie for a air filter...and as I made it a demo car I just left it that way, suprisingly those cars can take a hit high recamended for first driverss and people that like to hit stuff

 

I have found a glass vial with a clear liquid under the shifter. The Police were unable to identify what it was. I also found the spare key in the front clip which was a plus.

 

Found a picture of a friends ex wife in her panties. It was a nice pic it was in a mustang behind the glove compartment.

 

happy meal toys, dog hair, soda stains, 60 bucks in change, an Aristo Apollo, 7 jewel shock resistant stop watch, original bill of sale for car, owner manual, owner cassette, wheel lock key. Never thought I would get it cleaned out.

 

bought my 87 irocz fro $400 (not a typo) previous owner said motor was blown. not the case asked him why he said it was blown he said it had no spark. haha gave him cash took it home a ignition control module later she runs rough from 5 years of siting but she ran cleaned it out, spare tire was gone but it did have the inflator canister still there along with a 15 in sub that wasnt connected, jumper cables in the rear hatch area and inside the ttop carrier a deflated beach ball. needless to say i drive a camaro and pretty good at beach ball lol

 

broken crack pipe under where the back seats bold down! still had some crack in it



found it while I was redoing some of my interior

 

Mine was owned by a police officer so I didn't find any crackpipes
I did find a receipt for mcdonalds large fries and a coke behind the dash

 

not exactly a weird find but on my formula it had two Fiero headlight motors instead of the stock ones. had to re-splice the wires when the motors went

 

Car was missing the rear view mirror when I got it. Discovered the mirror under the passenger seat when I was putting in my new leather buckets... Don't know how it got under there, as it wouldn't fit with the seat in place. But hey, at least I have a mirror now.

One of the previous owners (car has had on average a new owner every other year) smoke DuMaurier smokes and that it was driven to a wedding at least once.
I haven't yet taken a look in the rear storage compartment, despite owning the car for almost a year.

 

motley crew cassette tape with five joints rolled up 83' Z28

 

Not too wierd but I found that my car was owned by an idiot at one time. While working on my gauge cluster discovered the Service Engine light was removed and no where to be found. Dont want to deal with SEL right now. anybody got a spare twist on jobby laying around.

 

I found a couple dollars in change, sockets, screws, fuses, lug nuts, gas caps. Pulled the back seats and found about an inch of grass seed under each one and a torx socket, when I pulled the passenger door panel there were big chunks of hard red plastic looking stuff in the bottom of the door and a couple rivets. Quart of ATF in the rear storage compartment. Spare tire and jack are gone.

 

In all my cars I've found french fries, sockets, Euro/Yen/US coins, half of a dollar bill, a Leatherman, a flashlight, pair of sunglasses, chopsticks, a USB drive (with nudity pics...score!), keys to a Hertz GMC Yukon rental, baseball bat, a dog leash, dog treats, a lizard skeleton, a bra, and a large marble in a gas tank.

 

Under the passenger seat: a 10 mm quarter inch drive socket and pieces of my original passenger side window. Under my driver side rear seats, pieces of the tint that once covered the rear window, inside my AC/heater box I found the remnants of a rats nest when I was 12, and the rest of it last week, and God knows what else I'm forgetting

 

I have a 1979 camaro (its in storage atm) its completely gutted for dragging and I found a 1979 penny welded to the floor pan in the exact middle of the car, lincoln lookin out of the front windsheild. ... I pulled the origional interior out of the car.... explain that. Please. I'm still baffled.

 

I found a receipt for gas from 1987. 94 cents a gallon! Miss the good old days.

 

In 1987 you get premium gas for 95 cents

 

Ripped my interior out completely.. been reading this thread for awhile, and I was disappointed to not find anything (strange).

 

The car I had came from a horse farm and the lady had it parked in a field. I brought it home and a couple days after it started to smell inside. I removed the back seats and found a family of mice who burrowed into the seat foam. I also found $4 in small change and a coupon for a hair cut that expired in 98.

 

I found a section of carpet with no dirt or fading.

 

That right there was funny.

 

under the center console? rear side panels?, LOL

 

Under a dead hooker in the rear hatch.

 

Had an 82 z28 one time i was cleaning it and found a vial of what looked to be crack cocaine and a small amount of pot stashed under a rear seat. Thank GOD i hadnt previously went through any roadblocks with dogs!

 

in my 1984 z28 i found a hookah and a bag of weed stuffed under the trim on the opposite side from the glovebox under the hatch. It belonged to a teenager before it was parked for 5 years before i got it so figures. and no the weed wasnt useable haha

 

A 350 with 305 electronics, lol.

 

#2 - a joint in the ash tray. This was after crossing the USA/Canada border each way. Yikes!

and...drum roll... #1 - a naked polaroid photo of the original owner when the car was brand new circa 1983. Yes, he was posing with the car.
Too bad it wasn't a female owner - that would have gone on the garage wall in a frame.

 

Out of the four Camaro's that I have owned the oddest thing would have to be the dead cat I found under the passenger seat. Was working on putting another motor into the car due to the current one frozen when I got it and started to smell something and noticed was coming from the car so started looking through the car and found a orange tabby cat hiding that got caught on the seat and didn't get out.

 

Trying to find an alternator for my '88 Firebird picking around a junkyard thirdgen I found a 1988 5$ bill stuck between the drivers side exhaust manifold and some other random garbage.

I pocketed the $5, looked to be stuffed there for good luck back in the 80's. It was mangey.
Now its my good luck charm!

 

took apart my dash the other day found a can opener behind my vent odd really first time its been taken off and i dont know how it got there given that its a big one

A "Gemco" receipt in my 89 Formula....

 

I don't know if anyone else has said this, or possible feels the same way, but I would say a chevy 305. HAHA! Our cars shouldn't have this particular engine in them EVER!

 

now, come on. theyre great lil engines UNLESS you want to go racing.but for day in ,day out street use. they do the job.

 

Personally I wish I found the Buick GNX powerplant in my car. I'm not hating on Chevy, but it can really be a pain in the a$$.

 

When I bought my car the windows were held up by two pieces of wood, previous owner sold the motors and regulators lol quick fix though

 

Haha me too! I found news paper stuffed in the AC vents and paper shredded under the back seat and even weirder than that, was they had taken off the gauge bezel and covered up the signal indicators for no reason

 

The usual change and misc bits, but in an 84 Z28 we had at one time, found an Arby's paystub from the 80's, dude made like $36.00. It had a lot of info on it compared to today, including his SS#.

Also found 5 or 6 pages of hospital dr. notes from an ER visit for a young child, sounded like they were pretty sick.

 

This actually applies tomy 2nd gen 79 Z28, but could have easily happened to my 82 or 86 Z28's that were parked right next to it.....

I had an issue with field mice quite a few years ago. Put out DeCon, and that fixed it. A few years later I was pulling the seats out of my 79 Z to clean the carpet. Reached up under the passenger frt set fishing for bolts, grabbed what felt like a handful of leaves and came back with a fossilized mouse shell. It kinda freaked me out a bit, and I finished with gloves on after that.

 

when i got my 88 i found a whole catback exhaust, some tools, a tub of vaseline...a **** ton of monopoly pieces, old cigs, a needle with weed rez on it by the seat, an empty bizzaro packet, flakes of bud everywhere and old edelbrock headers installed on the lil 305 (was that a stock option??) There was also a little hunting knife stashed in the drivers sun visor, think that was the best i found haha

 

Along with the obligatory loose change and french fries, I found an old cell phone under the back seat. Yes....There were pics on it of the previous owners "Junk" and his girlfriend or wifes huge booty. I told my daughter not to charge it up and look but NOOOOOOO. As usual, She didnt listen to dear old dad. I can still hear the scream and laughter. 97 Firebird

 

Weirdest thing? Myself. I made sure the two thirdgens I've bought were pretty damn clean. However, a little leaf from Florida took the whole trip back to Michigan with me in my hatch gap. So that's about it.

 

Bought a 1st gen Turbo AWD Eclipse. Had 150K on it, paid less than $1K. Found receipts for rebuild on that engine > $2000

 

This one wins You know, so much time has gone by I'm sure that person would be flattered that you took the liberty of scanning and uploading said photo. I don't know how thirdgen.org will feel
