In my 1984 Z28 I found a Ponderosa coupon that had expired in 1985. Pretty cool to find it still in car in near mint condition.

Ten years prior, my house I rented was the only house on that Street name. When I bought my '85, the old Quad was in the box the New Holley came in with bill of sale, 2 owners prior to me lived in that same house 3 years after I moved out.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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. :cool: Bada$$. Then it the drivers rear quarter there was a autobody hammer. :idiot: 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. :lmao: 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. :burnout:

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

In 1987 you get premium gas for 95 cents

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

That right there was funny.

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

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

Under a dead hooker in the rear hatch.

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

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!

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

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

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

A 350 with 305 electronics, lol. :huh:

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

#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.

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

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.

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

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. :D
Now its my good luck charm!

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

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

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! ;)

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

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.

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

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$$.

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

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

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

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 :confused:

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

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.

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

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.

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

when i got my 88 i found a whole catback exhaust, some tools, a tub of vaseline...a sh!t 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

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

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. :D 97 Firebird
