What's the weirdest thing(s) you've found when tearing your car apart? I havent found much, just a weird tag and an old American nickel. I found the nickel in the floor boards.

I found an old matchbox car a ford torino I think. a plastic whistle and hair berets.  there was a rigged up lap belt behind the driver so I' m guessing there was a child seat and these were the toys. also lots of pennys 82 cents.

I found razor blades and syringes when I cleaned out my old Coronet after I bought it.  They were under the house carpeting.  :o

I found a fender tag plate with large letters "PW" stamped into it under the carpet of one of my chargers.  The plate was once painted body color and it was a power window car so I guess it was supposed to be there.  It looked like it had been there from the assembly line.

This is what i found in the lizard when I stripped the old carpet out-

I only really consider the 70 Coronet 500 as it was the only car I ever been through that was totally unmolested. Here is a list of stuff I discovered:

Budweiser beer cap inside of the steering column.

New turn signal lever under the carpet, under the drivers side front seat.

A paper tag for the carpet.

IBM punched card for the trim




WheresMyCharger

The crank handle for the boat trailer I used to tow, I had to have another one fabricated. Years later when I took out the upper rear seat back, there it was!!
Have you seen my old '69 Charger??

When I installed the new carpet set in our cream 66 Charger, I found 10 NOS roof rail drip moulding chrome pieces....the little 45* ones at the top of the "A" pillar....all were scattered under the front & rear carpets.....someone must have spilled the box in there while it was on the assembly line.....got all of 'em tucked away for retirement.....gonna put 'em up on eBay and make my fortune later on....  :smilielol:  :smilielol:

Yea....right!   :rofl:

BROCK

I had a 69 Charger parts car.  While removing the dash assembly I found an old Kodak film can.  Remember the little
black with grey snap on lid that was just right for 1 roll of film?!  It was full of weed.  I flushed it down the toilet &
threw the little canister away.  I got the car from a junkyard, so I can only imagine how long the stuff had been in
its hiding place.  I wonder how long after stashing it the perp looked for it :shruggy: :nana:

The strangest thing I've found when tearing apart my car is how fast my bank account goes to zero.

My first 69 R/T, I had to replace the drivers door, it was full of bonndo around the scallops. Taking the door apart, I found several credit cards down in the door, they were about mid 70s I guess, one was an ESSO gas card, with a pic of a GREEN 69 CHARGER (What I was working on!! but mine had been painted ORANGE, THERE'S a SHOCKER!!)

Kinda odd, Wish I had kept the Esso card!

When I pulled the intake manifold off of my Tor-Red 440 SuperBird, I found an extra lifter just sitting there under the valley pan.

I had a 74 parts car that was beat all to hell.  The car was full of junk and animal sh*t and there were live 22 rounds all over the floor and in the seats.   That car must have had a rough life.  It looked like the car had a blowout at one point too and the rear passenger wheel well was made out of siding from a house.

In a 66 Charger I dismantled I found a box of Trojans dated 1972. In a 78 Ramcharger I found two pipes and a baggie of weed. In a old Chevy truck I found old sex toys, I grabbed gloves and took two showers. in a 74 dart sport I found some SWEET shades and a ten dollar bill under the seat.

At work since I am the Detail manager at a car dealer ship.  I find some real odd stuff.  Found drugs, Sex toys and other such stuff, a gun, tools, baby diapers(under the rear seat of a prior rental car). money, PSP and other hand held gaming toys, wedding ring and other jewelry. Credit cards, Wallets,  passports, Titles to cars,  All items of value are returned to the prior owner unless the car comes from a auction.  Also.  If you are getting a used car from a dealer. Do a carfax yourself.   The detail biss. sux.  Unless you have done it commercially.  I bet you have no Idea what has to get cleaned up. Here is the top five grossest things I personally have had to clean.
1. (tie) Ford explorer and Mitsubishi lancer, Suicide cars.  Blood and other matter on headliner and other parts of interior.
2. Chevy Impala Exploded baby diaper in trunk of car
3. Dodge Neon, Maggots, Mud, fiecies, and who knows what els.  (former farm car)
4. Chevy Trail blazer, Massive gas spill inside the car,  (NEVER SPILL FUEL IN YOUR CAR!!)
5. More than one car.  Seamen.

I'm smarter than I act, But I don't act smarter than I am.
