What's the weirdest things you ever found in a project car while tearing it apart?

[Torquedork]

It sort of occurred to me while tearing apart a Trans Am the other day an some of the things we find regarding the cars past and it's owner or owners.

What's the weirdest or funniest things people have found in cars when tearing them apart?

This one wasn't too bad. We did find the build sheet a whole bunch of toothpicks and finally, a vintage unused book of matches for a franchise of "*****cat" Adult Theatres!

[MrQuick]

whats with the tooth picks? almost every car had 20-30 of them layin under the back seat.

we found a 396 out of a 65 chevelle in my buddies 67 vette during its tear down.

A possum living up inside the dash,came out on me when I was removing the seats

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

an Icepick..

12 peacock brand condoms (unused of coarse) under the back seat with his savings account book in a 69 chevelle. Greg

just last month while we were tearing apart a car, and doing some grinding on old body work, I found steel wool under the bondo. And in the door jamb there was 2 pennies and 1 quarter covered over with bodo hiding a hole. Hummm.... pretty shady body work.

I found about 25 orange balloons under the back seat of my orange camaro

i once discovered that most of the driver's side quarter panel on a 76 Monte Carlo i had was mad out of cereal boxes, shop rags, and popsicle sticks held together with bondo.. i discovered this when most of the quarter panel fell off when i got mad that a cop was harassing me and i kicked my car.. i knew it had plenty of bondo- and didn't care, it was a $300 car- but damn..

I found a complete police report from which was clear the previous owner was not a real nice guy.... I never forgot his name, Anthony "shotgun" R****** as it stated in the report.

My car was in a persuit (described in the report) and then later the guy was arrested and his house searched.

they found drugs there, don't recall if there were weapons too...I still have the report, I would have to look it up.

My first car was a 69 Malibu, found an empty cigarette pack stuffed in a hole in the fender with bondo over it.

On my parts wagon I found mouse poop everywhere inside and in the engine compartment. The air cleaner housing was turned into a big nest, lucky the filter element kept them out of the carb.

I think the cereal box 1/4 panel and the possum are tied for first place, lol!

[mplecha]

I've found condoms, travelers checks, and shotgun shells in a few vehicles. I had a 68 C10 with a pair of tighty whiteys and fiberglass filling a hole in the floor board. That was probably the wierdest.

[Ishmael]

Tighty whiteys - that must have been a wtf?!?! moment. Who takes off their pants to fill a hole - in the floor that is? Can't stop laughing. ROFL

[ChevelleNV]

Found a motivational handbook form Chevrolet under the sound deadner in my Chevelle... keep it in my toolbox now great conversation piece...

[moreHP]

Found a weird looking small container in a car once and when we finally figured out how it opened, it had marajuana in it. Somebody must have stuffed in an area under the seat and then forgot about it.
No, I didnt keep it!

[Ripped]

Some of these stories are really funny.

There was a small hole in my (otherwise perfectly good) headliner, so I figured, I'd need to replace that. When I pulled it out, mouse $#!t and seeds everywhere. It must have been home to a good number of field mice. What a mess, that crap was everywhere, falling on my head etc. All in all, not uncommon, for these old cars.

[my72vette454]

I found a crack pipe under the seat of a 79 ford pickup I bought out of Montana a few years back. Uh no officer thats not mine, I just bought the pickup. LOL

[camloops11]

Not as weird as some of the others, but found a lot roofing tar on the passenger side floor pan. It was a huge pain to try and scrape off!

[kawaden]

a still readable business card from the pannel shop holding the bog over a rust hole and a tube of sealant in the rocker valley

[CHRIS67]

Computer speakers hot glued to the dash. Learned that the hard way when one of them fell and hit my leg when going over rail road tracks.
