Same for me in my old 86 TTop - a mouse ran out of my vent and I was travelling down the road and the mouse ran across my dash and fell out the window at about 60mph - one less mouse in the world

 

I just purchased a 89 red rs camaro and i found the same looking spring deal just laying on the floor the car is a parts car i got it with it full of 2 bumpers extra side skirts rims and millions of little nuts bolts and random parts.

 

I bought a parts truck one time and it had a bunch of random parts in the bed and I got it cheap so I started looking through the bed and someone had crapped in pair of underwear and left it in the bed of the truck! I didn't know I got a sh*tty deal!

 

just week ago when exchanging floor carpet i found nearly 22 years old canadian cent and propably same old chewing-gum wrapper

best regards

 

that spring is part of the electric window asembaly ill take a pic of mine if you want to compare

 

Well, last August when I bought the blue 86 Iroc, I found some chewing gum, WD-40, turtle wax interior cleaner, a rag stuffed behind the little hatch for the gas tank, a rag actually in the foam filter for the Edelbrock triangular carburetor air cleaner which was causing it to back fire. Oh yeah, there were two HUGE dead dragon flies in the corners of the front windsheild, I live in southern Delaware near the beach so that's common though.

 

I took the center console out and found a small weed bowl/pipe thing. Looks like you could hang it from a key chain so you can smoke "on the go"

 

Well you would of been screwed if you got pulled over with that. Hot pursuit!

 

My '84 Z/28 which i bought last year was incredibly clean. there was absolutely nothing anywhere in the car. granted I haven't picked up the carpets i think its a candidate for one of the cleanest second hand third gen interiors. However, my friend bought an '84 berlinetta about 2 years ago and it was full of junk. tons of obvious bits like nuts, lamps, spare parts. there was a really old fry container from white castle, i live in ontario and I don't even know where there is a white castle. a bunch of shoddy repairs. two attempts to fix a leaky firewall, when it failed he just drilled holes in the floor so it drained out as it came in. No animals though.

 

was it a slider from some ones bong?

 

haha...these cars are so shady, so much drug related stuff

 

Non sense, marijuana isn't a drug, more like a hallucination inducing hemp.

 

so far all ive found in my iroc is a bunch of glass under the seats in the back, a bunch of cig butts, an extremely old peace of spearmint, dared my friend to eat it, he wouldnt do it though, man it wouldve been funny, and a whole lot of rigged electrical wiring

in my 87 thunderbird the trunk has never been opened, i dont have the key for it and the electric button for it doesnt work, i pulled out the back seats to get in the trunk, heres what i found...

a picture of some dude and i guess his girlfriend, an old cigarette, got my friend to smoke it, it was funny, said it was the most horrible dried up cig hes ever smoked,
2 ihop employee uniforms, a really old chicken nugget(found in one of the pockets of the uniforms), bunch of pens and straws, shirts, pants, a bunch of old letters from a girlfriend, and a half full pepsi bottle

there was also a beer bottle holding up the stereo head unit, oh and a pc power supply and a can of really old pringles

and in my 83 olds cruiser wagon, im not even gonna start naming everything i found in that thing, weirdest thing was a pair of massive panties lodged in the back seat, also found about 7 bucks in change

and in my 85 mustang i found one of those flintstones ice cream pops, melted of course under the passenger seat, a really old pack of pop rocks under the center console, and under the hood i found at least 20 dead spiders, i dont know if they were just shells of one spider or if there was a nest somewhere, but i know they were huge, and i was always paranoid when working under the hood, especially when i had to change the oil

my friend bought a 92 isuzu mini pick up for parts for one he had, well we decided we would try to see if we could get running that way we would have 2 of them, this one didnt have a bed on it or a muffler, and we got it to start and run for a little while, then it would choke out, some how a mouse ended up lodged in the tail pipe, and we no **** saw it fly out of the tail pipe after messing with the carb a little thinking that mightve been it, after that it ran, but didnt really run good, he lost interest in it and ended up taking the doors and the transmission off of it for his truck

 

Well I've got something else to add to the list of weird things. I set out some poison in the garage, and I found a little mouse that made it inside my car before he died. So it smells horrible now.

 

when changing my front bumper cover on my 88 T/A i found in the bumper support area a pair f needle nose pliers , a flathead screwdriver , and a wrench , and on the inside of my center console i found a bunch of trim bolts

 

Seems like someone else was aiming to change that same bumper.

 

i canged my radiator today and found like 30 peices to a sk ratchet set and a 1/4 inch ratchet

 

i found an ebrake cable, some teeth and some bones in a little paper bag (i don't if my KARR's previous owner practiced voodoo ) and a fishing line in my trunk when I bought it

 

I found some pot plants growing in the rear floorboard. They sprouted after a heavy rain & I had left the windows down.

 

Did you see any pink elephants?

 

I said pot plants not mushrooms lol

 

Luckily a cop didn't spot you with your mobile green house. Lol.

 

there is nothing like shrooms, pink elephants and Doogie Howser lol

 

I found the passenger-side visor... stuffed under the passenger-seat.

 

I bought my 1991 Firebird as the 3rd owner. I got it from a friend from school, so I know some of its history, like that the table leg (with barcode sticker still on it) was from him and because the hood and back hatch lid wouldn't stay up on their own. i think there were some receipts in the center console. and i found the wiring for a CD changer, which must have been from the original owner because my buddy didn't have one. then today i took out the spare tire just for cleaning and the heck of it, and there was part of some sort of bracket for what i assume was for the CD changer. other than things that can be easily explained, nothing really.

 

I bought a 1968 Charger from a guy that was the 4th owner. It was pretty stock, but needed to be restored. As I took the unmolested interior apart I found an old Budwesier bottle cap inside the steering column behind the wheel itself. It had to have been stuck there at the assembly line as there was no hole or slot large enough for it to fit through.

I had a 1970 Coronet that was all stock and needed a new carpet. Under the carpet was the factory carpet tag that was date coded and a few other factory papers. But the funny part was there was a couple of NOS turnsignal levers under there, right under where the drivers seat was. There was no way for them to work their way under the carpet and there was a surface rust halo all around them leaving an outline of clean metal when they were picked up.

 

I bought my car from a guy who had it in his garage for two years. My SES light kept coming on, and later found out a mouse made a home in my engine and chewed through some wires. There were mouse droppings all under my TPI plenum.

Under the drivers seat I found a half working alarm system.

In the dash (I put in a new stereo and speakers) I found a thousand wires that lead to nowhere (thanks to the part time mechanic), and in the trunk I found a racing chip.

 

cig butts are probably factory. Workers used to smoke in them and put the butts out on the metal. The people who put the carpet in just laid it in over them.

 

This thread has turned to CRAP!!!! To many post about "......weirdest thing youv'e found in your car?" that is not even all that weird.

Table legs/broom sticks used to hold hatch/hood- not really all that uncommon
Mice nests- I would say that's pretty common
Cig butts- is that really "weird"
Sun Visor for that car
Shoddy repairs
Ect ect,

I think we need better "weird" post worthy material, enough of listing whatever was in your car. More of the strange stuff!

 

i went to my car one day and found a bum in the back seat sleeping

 

i found an old Billy Ray Cyrus Cassette.

 

I took off my dash today and I ended up finding a coupon for some window cleaner from like 1998, could of saved 55 cents! DAMMIT lol

 

Not really weird but I found a gm bottle of fix a flat still mounted to spare tire ,owners gm casett tape for 1990 Iroc and poster of 1990 iroc from gm I think the fix a flat is going to be a keeper

 

when i got my first car which was a 91 firebird which was falling apart there was nothing but mildew all over the carpet...till i found a bra behind one of the rear speakers..they were C-cups......but at work we pulled a dead kitten burnt to a crisp off of exhaust pipes...stuck between the manifold and block...poor thing

 

hey dude, if you don't want the owners cassette. I would be glad to have it

 

The 1980 had about ten speeding tickets (95 in a 55), court summons, license suspension notices (didn't show up in court) etc from about 15 years earlier. Also shotgun slugs, a googoo dolls cd in a backstreet boys case, rabbit water bottle still in the packaging, piles of stuff. Guy didn't clean out the trunk at all.

A truck I bought had things buried under all the snow in the bed. It was amusing to watch and see what was revealed as the snow melted. Nasty shoes, boombox, knee brace, cig boxes...

Haven't found anything worth noting in the 85. Yet. But all these drugs make me nervous of being falsely accused if a cop searches my car or I try to drive it to canada.

 

Seems like that guy had a pretty wild time with the car.

 

This isn't the strangest thing on here but I found a brand new Saturn key and a bunch of old train tickets. But I still haven't looked through it very much so I don't know what else I could find.

 

My finds include:

2 dead mice
3 toy army men
trim pieces that didn't belong to a Firebird
Around $10 in spare change


The spare change was the funny one. Someone had been dumping the change in the space behind the ash tray container, thus letting it slide through the center console and under the carpet on the passenger's side. I had several holes in the floor pan. So every time I'd park the car I'd find a trail of change in the driveway/parking space. 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!

 

Since ripping the carpet out I've found a few more things. $18 in change, a Victoria's secret envelope (at first I thought it was the build sheet), two illegible cassettes, a dead scorpion (guess the car was from out of state, I don't think we have scorpions in iowa), and, best of all. A notice they were gonna turn off the dudes electricity because he owed $1173.84. I don't use that much electricity in a year!

 

My firebird was pretty clean when I got it, tons of change, spare fuel filter, screwdriver a few nuts and bolts.

My dakota was a totally different story though, found some chick's bra behind the backseat, a couple of gun shells, a knife, some cig buds, and an old bottle of jack daniels.

 

Found some knitting needles, a Vegas receipt and a lot of sand under the back seats.

 

This one is kinda funny ! I bought my RS from an older couple. I am in the middle of replacing the carpet and just the other day found a pill packet (still with two pills left in it) of Viagra lol! Never seen that stuff in person and its weird !

 

sounds like a good time to me!

 

found a 1-pound brick of the "green stuff" was kinda gray after 10+ years stuffed behind the Left rear speaker, 4 lighters, a "bowl", 2 switchblades, a warrant from 1989 and over 300 dollars in cash and change under the carpet and behind the rear seats.

 

want to sell those blades?

 

Did D.B. Cooper own your car?

 

Lets see when I brought my 90 camaro I found a lot of random nuts and screws, a CD with nothing on it and a $hit load of change!

 

LMAO @ D B, and the blades i sold 3 years ago... got 130 bucks for one, it was some italian made blade with a double edge.

 

Camaro didn't have any goodies when I got it but I had a 85 300ZX that looked like it had been built from the gaudy aisle at Autozone but the weird thing I found was a stack of envelopes with children's birthday card all from and to different addresses under the spare tire. I think the guy was a mail man who stole money from little kids and their grandparents.
