    Preliminary cleaning out of all the crap in my new old 48 Plymouth has been interesting. Pair of sneakers, unidentifiable bolts & nuts, leftover wire, empty cig packs, and the occasional turd... usual stuff.

    But the two jewels (as opposed to the rusty nuts) were a laminated card with a beautiful Godly poem of Heavenly wishes, and a bullet for a .38 Special.

    Only in Texas.

    What did YOU find?

    Once found a Rolex in an old Jeep.........of course the serial number was stickered on the back of the watch and it was electronic.
     
  7. found a big ol brick of hash wedged up inside one of the seat rails of my old vw bug.:p

    once found a trunk full of "plumpers" its a fat chick porno mag in the back of a jaguar i was parting out:eek:

    i took a huge dump in a old econoline van once........."treasure" for someone else to find:D
     
  8. Right after getting my truck cab I was cleaning out the doors. Along with plenty of dirt and rust dust I found a '44 penny and one of those tags you bolted to your license plate up in one corner, it was from '62. My grandson told me a year or so later that that was the most fun we had with the truck!? I enjoy it a lot more now that I can go places in it.
     
  9. Ha ha this is awesome.
    I bought an old Chrysler once that stuffed down the side of the rear quarter panel had a tent and that tent has served me at every drunken camping trip and car show for the last 8 years. Mould and everything.
    I also pulled 48 dollars in loose change outta that car from under the back seat.
    When I imported my 50 ford from Texas to aus I remember saying to my buddy I'd etter find some cool shit and he had just got his 53 olds 98 and we both thought we'd find something cool. I have way to much American change as it is from a couple trips but neither of is even pulled out a dime. Not one cracker ha ha what a let down.
     
  10. How about a coke bottle with a marble in it plus a note stuck in the insides of the "B" pillar..The note said""Haha,you finally found it.I'll bet that rattle drove many mechanics crazy

    bout a hundred or so loose 22 bullets. . .scared the shit out of me when i was feeling around and pulled out this little bullet. all live, my police man friend came and picked them all up and said he knew where to take them, that wouldve been an interesting story if i had found them later when the truck was driving. found a 20 in the back of an ot nova at a pick apart once and of course the usual nudy mag.
     
  20. Found under the back seat of a 36 Nash

    A 1946 dime under the front seat of my '46 Olds and similar old Ozzi shilling! (Predates decimal currency - 1966) how it got there I've no idea as car came into country in 1990. Even an old parts receipt from 1950.

    When in high school we used to go to a gravel pit and shoot eachother with air soft guns, like a spring loaded bb gun that shoots plastic rounds. We all painted ours black so you couldn't see the sun off the clear and orange plastic. I sold a car once and thought I emptied it and got a upset call from the middle aged man saying I needed to pick up my gun. Haha he laughed fairly hard when I asked him if he was suspicious about that guns plastic construction. He didn't know guns and assumed it was real I guess...
