What is the coolest thing you have found in your charger

[KillerBee1972]

Which im sure we all have done this, taken apart the interior or any part of your charger apart and found something cool. i recently have taken out the interior of my 73 charger SE U code sunroof car, and found alot of tags, papers for the carpet etc stamped with dates from 73, and a bunch of vinyl roof pieces, a crysler cup! and a boston 8 track! 

What have you guys found??

[71charger]

I found a really old maybe early 80's carls jr toy kinda neat i guess.

[bobs66440]

A petrified Dorito!  Now I use it as a gasket scraper! 

[freddyd02]

A few cigarette butts 

[KillerBee1972]

Really no one has found something neat other than garbage 

[JT01]

I found a real old antique spoon and sold it for $50

[billschroeder5842]

I found a dead mouse in a road runner I bought out of a storage garage, but I found the build sheet on my 69. I consider that a a big score!

[Budnicks]

Single voluptuous attractive women's panties....

[KillerBee1972]

Yes I found a build sheet but for a different 73 SE and that was the only build sheet I found which was very depressing

[Bulldog69RT]

I'm not making this up. I found a 1969 penny between the floorpan and the rockerpanel area. I saved it, not sure what Im going to do with it. Hood ornament? haha

[terrible one]

Probably the coolest thing I found was what looks to be the "signature" of one of the assembly line workers on the back side of my drivers upper door pad

[tracpack440]

I found 2 of the build sheets under the back seat. One on the botton seat and the other on the top. And one of them is in perfect shape.

[ChgrSteve67]

strip of 12 year old condoms under the back seat.

Liar liar pants on fire!!

Now that I do believe!!

[Daytona R/T SE]

French tickler, brand new in the package.

Roaches (marijuana cigarette butts for you youngin's) in the backseat armrest ashtray of my '70.

A flattened assembly line paper cup under the carpet of my '68.

A deceased raccoon (I think) carcass on the floor of a '71 I once bought.

Numerous dead rats and mice in several cars over the years.

And the beat goes on...

[tubedriver]

A few coins from 69 and 70, and weathered Lego men.....and my build sheet;-)

[68X426]

Must have been my Dad's car. 

[BigBlackDodge]

Tiny plastic bags and some rusty razor blades..................

[BrianShaughnessy]

I just found a condition report from the assembly line tucked up under the headliner of Sinnamon when I pulled it out.    I means to scan it and post it the other day...  maybe I'll get to scanning it later after I get home. 


And a dead mouse. 

[djcarguy]

    18 INCH CRESENT WRENCH UNDER BACK SEAT,,MADE LOTS OF NOISE UNDER THERE...   USED CONDOMS,DRUG BAGGES,RAZOR BLADES IN HEADLINER TRIM AND DEAD CRITTERS,,THINK ONE WAS A CAT???

[440]

Gum wrappers, coins, chips, old receipts, the usual stuff... So the coolest thing I've found so far was the gas in the tank 

[ITSA426]

We found a three foot long molted snake skin behind the dash as we were taking apart my nephew's 66 Charger.  The car came out an area where a lot of copperheads live.  I found a couple small scorpions in my mauve car when it came up from Texas. 

Now I just let the cars sit outside for a winter before I reach into places I can't see.  Not many critters can live in a car over a typical Minnesota winter.

[twodko]

The second broadcast sheet in pristine condition in the back seat springs.

[Plum Crazy 68]

The original manuals in the console and a chain stearing wheel like on Cheech and Chong's van.

We all can dream, can't we ?...  LOL

[tan top]

The second broadcast sheet in pristine condition in the back seat springs.

 
me too , well not the second one  , but found  my chargers Broadcast sheet 

also  found  when taking it appart & doing the resto ,  a silver disney land spoon  & few fish hooks ( trebbles))  & swivels  down between the trunk floor extensions & lower rear quarters  
&  GM ignition key that was inside the deck lid  , took some getting out  
couple of dimes in the gas tank also  
plus one that had me scratching my head wondering  how & why ,  small pipe/tube cutter right up inside the dash ,  could see no way it getting there , other that it being  dropped in the dash assembly when it was being assembled at the factory , ( why would that be being used at the factory , near the dash assembly ?? )
as the car was previously 63 thousand mile 2 owner car  , when i bought it   pretty much untouched except for a motor swap

So are you saying those belong to your mom???     

[Stretch]

An unsmoked joint (very dry)
A unused still taged set of keys for my car. They were under the  driver side front carpet.
The strip code tag under my trunk carpet.

The key thing is a pretty cool story!

I found the same thing! A penny from 1969. I'll post a pic of it.

Also found a quarter from 1970.....and a build sheet from a different vehicle (can only make out the last 5 digits of the sequence number.)

[Surf Charger]

There seems to be a lot of left-handed cigarettes being found....that a old condoms. Sign of the times I suppose....

I turned mine in to the nearest law enforcement agency!      What did the rest of you do?

[BigBlockSam]

an empty pack of bamboo rolling papers 

[Patronus]

Not a biggie, but I found a penny (slightly melted) probably used as a shim between the dutchmen and quarter panel. Looks like it was used a few times...

[RiverRaider]

Back in the late 90's I went to look at a 70 charger for parts because it was supposed to have a perfect front clip.
It did but the clip was a 68 and I looked no further after seeing that.  I did not want the car and it was starting
to rain so I wanted to leave.  The owner said the car had to go and lowered the price to where I had to take it.
We pushed it on and hooked two chains in the front, I paid him and told him I could finish and he could get out of the rain.
I went under to put a chain on the rear axle and to my surprise it was a 4:10 Dana!  For me that was cool.

JACKPOT!!

[KillerBee1972]

Oh also during the rebuild of my motor in my 72 it seems that someone got into my motor before because under the intake a message was written "Chevys will hate Mikes motor" it was either motor or mopar it was pretty hard to read... But I thought it was cool

[aussiemuscle]

So the coolest thing I've found so far was the gas in the tank 

i'm surprised no one said they found a hemi under the hood

Probably because they haven't!!

[viper r/t]

Took the old headliner out the other day, and found a hand painted spider web that covered the entire inner roof  Guess some people just didn't have enough to do, atleast they signed it in the corner like a painting so they must have been proud when they got done haha

Wow, cool! Got pics??

[paul smart]

when i pulled mine apart i found something my dad had lost back in 69 it was the tassle from his high school graduation hat and 2 burger king lapal buttons.it was cool to give it back after 40 years

[HeavyFuel]

Besides the mint broadcast sheet that was tucked up behind the glovebox......this is it.


I have no idea what the little triangles are, but they were under the factory carpet.


The keys were wired up under the hood.  I remember my dad having one of those license plate key rings.

[Surf Charger]

So what gives it away that its a 4:10 Dana? (sorry stupid question but I've never had to deal with the axle/diff)

A quick side note and then back to the real thread. 

Not stupid, excellent question. A Dana 60 is the king of the hill. The cat's meow. For the kids out there, it's dope. It doesn't get sweeter than finding a Dana underneath.

The unique 10 bolt pattern and angled corners immediately indicates Dana 60. See the chart. But there's no way to simply look at a Dana and know it's a 4.10. The poster is just assuming that was the ratio (it's a very common ratio).

[64dartgt]

Nothing too interesting in the Charger.  Found a crayon drawing done by my Cousin Heidi (45ish now) when she was about four under the back seat of my Great Aunts 1964 Dodge Dart (which is now mine).  That was cool.

[70 Charger RT]

I found three broadcast sheets.  One under the rear seat (not mine).  Another under the passenger bucket mixed in with a hornets nest (not mine). And then under the drivers seat was my build sheet in good condition.

I also found at least two dozen 22 bullets under the dash near the fuse box.  These were unspent bullets.  My older brother who bought the car new said they used to go hunting quite a bit and bullets wound fall down the defrost vents.

[Iceyone]

Found the window sticker and owners manual in the glove box of a 70 SE I used to have. Also found the FM radio and the headlight motor in the trunk. Still have the radio and motor, but not the car.

Also found a hot blonde in the back seat of my 68 before. 

[xpbprox]

1932 USSR and a Chevelle logo

I don't even know where it's at anymore, it's somewhere safe though
A couple other things but this was by far the coolest

Thank you so much for those pictures and that description. Very informative and helpful. I will pass those on.

ok, back to the thread!

1968 NICKEL UNDER PASS SEAT IN MY 68 CHARGER GOT THE CAR IN AUG 2011

[rave_12000]

ummmm. which one?  there have been so many chargers in my life.  i tell you what is most uncool-----mice.

reminds me of the time my sister bought a mustang from a dealer about 10 years ago.  took it home and found a handgun under the driver seat. my dad called up the dealer and asked what was up.  the dealer told them that he had to bring the gun back because it was not to be included with the sale of the car.  dad told them to get screwed and sold it for $300. it was a german rueger? true story. not a charger, but definitely interesting.

[404NOTFOUND]

Not a Charger but, I once bought a freshly retired police car and found a little baggie of weed in the trunk.

[BananaDan]

  

Literally, during my interior restoration I found two pennies sitting in the dash frame. 

[bill440rt]

I found a smashed vintage cherry soda can smothered with bondo wedged between the right quarter panel & floor extension on my '69. Does that count??

LOL Nice! I don't think I'd consider that too cool! Funny! But not cool!

[klutch]

I've been very lucky with my early build '73. I found these in the glovebox, under the back seat and under the carpet.











The papers in the upper right of the first picture are all the service reciepts from the life of the car. Same owner bought it new and had it all the way up until 2001, I bought it in 2002.

[Fred]

Boy, that is a good find 

[KillerBee1972]

Agreed! That is pretty sweet!

[KillerBee1972]

I just found a 1973 penny inside of my drivers side door of my 73 U code car. and a message under the vinyl roof saying "Do Vinyl"

[spoolinhard]

I found a copper 1943 penny in my challenger. I think that this is insanely rare as most of them where steel from the war drive. My grandma was nearby when I made the discovery so she got it.

[RDR838]

Coolest thing I found in the Charger was the ignition key light. Somebody didn't install it back when they had the dash apart but put it under the radio where it must have been from '87 till '06!

And this is an empty M&M's bag which I found in a spring in the rear seat of my '68 Coronet wagon parts car. It was extremely hard to get out which makes me think it was put inside the spring by the guy (or gal?) who put the seat together in the factory before he/she covered the metal frame with jute, foam and vinyl!






The bag now lives with what remains of the 2 builtsheets I found in my Driver Coronet wagon. I did find the dead mouse too which ate the rest of the builtsheet.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. You should frame that.

[RIDGERACER383]

I found out about 5 years ago when I took my car for a test drive that there was a 5 foot long black snake living in my car.I rolled the windows up and went to shut the door and it didn't shut all the way looked at my door and here's this snake caught in the door.I opened it up and ran one way and the snake went the other.5 minutes after that I popped the hood and there was a corn snake on my wiring harness on my firewall.my car is a snake sanctuary in the summer.I hate snakes too.

[69rtse4spd]

Found a .45 with a full clip under the drivers seat when I got the car home & was cleaning it out. Called the cops, they took it, still got the car. 

[71wrenchhead]

i found a couple handfulls of bullets, well, muzzleloader slugs, and a gold ring

WOW!!! what a find. If it were up to me..........you'd win the prize for the coolest thing found. 

[yellow68RT]

shittt I definitely woulda kept the 45!
