Interesting things you've found in cars

A friend of mine bought a '50 Lincoln and found a bunch of joints in it some of them were half smoked.I myself have never found anything interesting like most of you,I guess I have not been blessed yet.Maybe the Brown Devil has to repent and then I can also find things in cars.

 

no trip to the scrappers yard is complete unless you find some good old fashion junk yard porn.

though i was rooting though a '37 lasalle once and found a pack of beemans gum and couple of other trinkets from a road trip to yosemite and a "i like ike" pin...the car was last registered in '51

 

i've found powder makeup and lipstick from what im guessing the 60's out of the glovebox in my 53' chieftian that was parked for 43 years

 

old style porno playing cards, tools, neat car parts, but best was S&W .38 "Chief's Special", still loaded!

 

Back in the middle 70's I took a 69 Lincoln Mark in on trade once. 38,000 dollars stuffed in the windshield uprights. I didn't exactly find it, but I did watch the former owner "find it". Man, was he relieved. He'd gotten about 20 minutes away when he remembered he was suddenly poor.

 

About 5 years ago I bought a 64 Nova 2dr hdtp from a pretty shady dude in Council Bluffs. About two weeks after I got it home I found the guy trying to break into my garage to get into the car. I ran him off and didn't see him again. My curiosity was up, so I starting really investigating the car, and found almost 4oz. of blow under the drivers seat. True story...

 

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

All I've ever found in an old car was big old rust holes.

 

Old coins, keychain from a long gone West Texas tire and oil retailer, marbles, oh yea I did find a whole stack of nudy books once.

 

There used to be an old defunct junkyard in the woods near where I grew up, my friends and I would snoop around and check out what was there every so often, I found 5 tins of unused Simoniz wax in a 38 buick that looked like it was hit by a train a bunch of old tools and a nasty looking corrset in the trunk. Alos found a bent shotgun in the trunk of a 66 Mercury.

 

I found a guy's Army dog tags in the back seat of a '63 T-Bird once. I was working at a body shop, I was about 20. I showed them to some girl at a party and she said she was going to try to find out who's they were, she took them and I never heard back. Hope they found their way home.

 

I found some 8track tapes, David Bowie and Alice Cooper in my '62 LeMans, along with some petrified weed.

Someday I hope to find a running engine in one of my cars.

 

I bought a '48 merc peekup a few years ago.
Got it home and started diggin threw it.
Found 7 mercury truck grillbars(rare) and a Fenton 3 pot intake with three 97s under the seat!.....Shiny

 

in the gas tank of the A sedan we're working on, there's gotta be about 50 walnuts, sticks, a lipstick tube, and about 4 pounds of rust silt. Found an old boring letter stuffed in the inner panel of the A coupe, that's about it.

 

I found a box of cigars from the mid 60's under my seat in my 51.

 

By far the most "interesting" thing that I have ever found is this:



A pregnant girl trophy topper. What in the hell kind of award is given out with this as a topper?

The second most "interesting" thing would have to be the vintage lesbian porn that was pulled out from under the seats of my one owner 1965 Volvo. Mildred (85 year old previous owner) must have been one wild bird in her day. Oh, if that car could talk.

 

Removed the Roosevelt for prez lapel buttons from my 32 tudor visor when I got it home.
Always lotsa dead varmits in other cars seat springs ... bee's...
had luck finding tools at junkyards apparently other scroungers don't count them before or after like I do... it is better to end up with a higher number tho
in a 55 pontiac wagon -one old trophy from a 50's custom car show poor condition

a 62 Ford P/U found oil pressure
dragging it home and got it fired while towing it home..jammed a screwdriver in the ignition let out the clutch in gear no brakes almost wrecked the towing car ..


some money and a notary stamp!!

 

I can't answer what that was made for, but I have a list of broads I'd love to give that to!

 

Found a 1976 newspaper in the trunk of my Falcon, Headline reads about Carter getting ready to take over presidency.

 

In my 62 Comet I found a horse whip and leather binding straps... Made me wonder what went on in the backseat of that car!!!

hmm... let's see.... the 89 buick had plenty of tools in the trunk, w/ the spare. And there was a lot of change found... but not in the seating compartment. It was in the air box. Strange I thought.

And the 60 cad... had a 60 plate, some change that included a 60 penny and quarter, and some 80's time and life magazines in the trunk, under about 20 lbs of dirt. I still never found out where all that dirt came from, cuz the trunk has never leaked, the floors are solid, and there aren't any leaks where it meets the quarter panels. That one always confused me... unless the previous owner moved lottsa plants that dumped or somethin. I dunno

 

Not as shocking as some of these things, but I found this 1939 reciept for 10 gallons of gas rolled up and stuffed in the windshield post of my 34 when I was chopping it. Unfortunately, it doesn't list the price. I wonder how much that was!?

 

When I bought my '49 Ford coupe, it had the original delivery slip and owners manual in the glove box as well as walnut shells in the inner fenders, headliner and a nest under the back seat. I still find a shell occationally two years later.

I found an empty condom wrapper under the seat of my '92 VW....I kept hoping I wasn't going to find the used contents somewhere else in the car.

 

Someday, someone will find a 9mm slug in a 455 76 Trans AM formerly owned by me.

A friend was poking around in my car, and decided my single-action Hi-Power would be fun to play with. The clip was in a different compartment than the piece, but he got them together, and accidentally shot my fucking stereo out.

It was in a clean garage, and the slug didn't make it to the floor, but it did go through the firewall.

 

I bought the remains of a very rotted 26 T coupe off ebay. It had spent years in a Texas creek but had some good parts. As I was breaking the body all the way down I found a 1938 buffalo nickel stuck between body panels. I found some weed under the dash of a 64 Chevy

 

In one car I bought at a towing auction (1986 Dodge Aries) I found a nickel plated 38 rolled up in newspaper stuffed next to the battery, a tool box of Craftsman tools in the trunk, and when we pulled the back seat out there was a wallet with over $700. in it. We only paid $200 for the car so I was in profit even after I gave the car to my daughter. Gumpa

 

In one of the trunk holes of a 55 Chevy convert my Dad built, he found a mid 60's vintage unused condom taped inside. When I was cleaning out my 40, I found a 1940 wheat penny. I've left it in there as a karma kind of thing.

 

,,,,,,,,,,,VAMPIRE??

 

A 1974 parking tag from Anaheim Stadium, and a book of matches with Nixon on the cover.

 

in my 49 tudor in the seam where the visor/headliner attaches to.... old tickets and 2 shotgun shells, in the springs on the front seat there was an unused "skin" still in package..gross.............

 

Got an '81 Honda Civic for $150 at a police auction, and found $3500.00 and a few 8ball's under the drivers seat when I went to chop the seat brackets so I could fit in it (6'5") Sold the 8ball's to some guy cheap, and went out and got a '62 chevy short bed fleet side and some cool wheels... Pushed the Honda out on the street, and called the city to report the abandoned vehicle.....
My buddy said that is was for sale at the next auction, but was not quite as good a deal that time.....
