Most interesting things found in a car you bought? (merged)

[SRT]

Saw this on another board and thought we could try it here. My dad use to have a 64 Pontiac that never came with a trunk key..when we finally got it open there were 4 boxes of porn mags :D

On another site guys have found needless, heroin, tools, coffee cups that were stuffed behind the fenders on the assembly line, underwear, machete's, ciggy butts in the oil pan, bottle caps in the lifter valley of engines, bottles in the frame rails etc

[Tomaz]

When I sold one of my old cars, i made sure to give it a really good clean out.

Opening up the glove box rewarded me with $40, my back-up pair of glasses, my Chumbawumba CD, and my blackberry case!! It was one of the best days of my life!

When I bought my first car, I gave it one hell of a clean. I found almost $15 in change!

Last weekend, I finally cleaned out the trunk of my current car. I found all of my missing assignments from last semester. :banghead:

[Anomaly]

Found a Starbucks gift card in my CTS-v... :clap:

Other than that its just been the usual change.

[GQBalla]

[Disoblige]

Found bud light bottle caps in the trunk lol. Yeah no way I would find those kinds of things. I would have checked a lot of places before buying the car haha.

[Hakkola]

Wasn't there a thread like this before? Pretty sure it was a couple pages.

[adam c]

THAT'S RACIST!;)

[Kloubek]

I bought a Lincoln Mark Viii, and found about $100 in casino chips, and about $50 in loonies stuck in the crevass between the back seats and the trunk.

Also, after getting rid of a Mustang GT I had for a couple of months, the next owner told me he found a large vial of hash oil under one of the seats.

[rook]

Wow ... you guys got me beat ... weirdest things I found was an oven mitt and a hatchet in my old Cavalier.

I'd say the loose yoga CD in my current car is odd, but it's a miata, so it's actually kinda fitting.

I really want to make a joke about "coondoms" but I'm worried my post will get removed and I'll get one of those warnings.... :devil:

On topic, in my old student driver car I found a black-faced Swiss Military watch with half the strap missing; bought a cheap strap, got a good watch.

[Modelexis]

I found a decent quality watch that had fallen under the spare tire in the hatch on one of the cars I bought.

Hmmmm...that's where that went...

[Proyecto2000]

i found a pair of $5 sunglasses

[n1zm0]

my first S13 240 in HS, had to change a light bulb for the reverse light and in there was a bloody (looked like someone had a bloody nose kind of bloody) golf glove and a golf ball in the compartment that houses the tire jack.

2nd S13 240 a stank ass windbreaker pair of pants shoved into the spare tire area, like from the early 90s (maybe in there since the first owner?? o_0

(3rd and latest S14 240 nothing and i mean spotless :( , im the second owner and the first guy was a ned flanders neat freak)

the costanza i had for a bit had an extra key in the ashtray to one of the other cars that was on the used car lot that i got it from i think it was for a V6 mustang vert or something like that, lots of crazy things went through my head at the time cause i was involved in 'the wrong crowd' in which they could've used those keys and i could've made some .. $, but i never ended up doing anything with it, still somewhere in the stanza which i saw @ PnP a few months after i donated to the kidney foundation.

i've found more interesting things just walking to and from HS to the train station back in the day (went to school down town), i.e wet soaked cig pack that i just felt like kicking with $170 in cash in it, laid it out to dry in my locker all day lol

[Awd-Tsi]

I found a Jesus playing card in my crown Vic

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Found 50 cents in my first car.

A spare road flare, tons of smashed glass, a cell phone holder, lug nut key, spare bulbs all found in my JDM.

Found 5 spare wheels, a Hanes Manual, Tools, spare AC compressor in our Jeep when we picked it up after buying it.

[master hec0]

found a nice crossbow in a car today too bad it had to go to management where it went "missing"

[redline]

$600 waterman pen in the M3

[Shlade]

in my 88 mustang, which I ended up selling to a buddy.. I bought the car from an auction and did not know what was in the car at all.

After he cleaned it out good he found a big bulge under the back seat. Ripped the seat out and found a set of FAT brass knuckles that said bonecracker or some shit on it with drink and fuck on the other side?

and a bunch of dope under the driver seat.. Musta belonged to a dealer lol

[Chantastic]

I'll show you. When I was scraping some rust off of the rear quarters on my S13, I felt a giant chunk of loose metal inside. Turned out to be these (I guess the aerosol can exploded in the car at one point haha):

Otherwise I've found a million pens, an eminem cd, garbage, cleaning supplies (went to good use once I found them haha) and the comes then grand daddy of it all. I didn't take a picture because it was hardly legible, but I posted my find as my status on FB, and my friend made a comic strip out of it, word for word:

http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k437/b000stin/38487_411857756789_511461789_5160295_1401221_n.jpg

Flesh Gordan's is totally a strip club btw

[diamondedge]

The rear cup holder of my Matrix wouldn't close properly, so eventually I got annoyed and OCD'ed so I poked around and noticed the trim panel below it was kinda bent, so I popped it free and found

a foil wrapper (cigarette pack)
a lighter
and the previous' owners pink slip. Name, address, everything.

Now my rear cupholder closes properly and I have a lighter.

[wintonyk]

when i imported my old mr2 i always thought the car smelled like rice. Upon my first real thorough clean i discovered a tupperware container with old dried out rice in it.

[Vanner]

Great thread! I had found some good stuff in my former cars I had owned. My last van (still have it) - found a 1970s pop bottle opener with the brand name "7-UP", one shiny carpenter's pencil - unused from the '70s and some coins of which one penny was dated 1954. Also found some newspaper stuffed inside one of the wall supports - dated May 1971 with some cool classifieds listing used cars for sale... that make me cry seeing CHEAP prices for classic cars! :rofl:

The most money I'd gotten was almost $20 in loose change in one old Dodge car where I was parting out dashboard parts off there. Whoever owned that car must had stuffed the coins in the ashtray! I use that change to pay for the parts LOL - free for me out the yard.

Oddest find I made was one small axe under the driver's seat. That I don't want to know why it's there! I flipped the car sold as I feel is bad karma for me ... it was a POS car anyway.

[sr20s14zenki]

One time i did an sr20 swap for somebody, and im not even kidding, when i dropped his exhaust....rice came out.... you cant make this shit up. I spend the next few minutes laughing my ass off.

:D

The irony is killing me :bigpimp:

Don't know why you guys would buy cars without looking through them first &/or them being clean already? :P

[JZS_147]

Celsior:
-Japanese credit cards. in the middle rear console, in a secret compartment by the limo controls about 20 of them, and in the rear left door panel, another 10 or so.


Aristo:
-Japanese cigarettes
-photo of when my car was pink, parked in front of a hospital with 5 other VIP car/wagons
-tactical knife
-extra shift knob


Lexus GS (first gen):
-Baby shoes in the spare tire area


Lexus GS (second gen):
-About $6 in loose change under the center console, and a bunch of lip glosses


Supra:
-Ikeya Formula alignment tool in the trunk where the spare tire should be

[moparfan]

A found a butter knife, a taco shell, a piece of paper with cheese whiz smeared on it, a single shoe, a contact lens, and a can opener.

Not sure why anyone would have ANY of the items in a single car, but that's the way the cookie crumbles i suppose.

A map of 1969 Calgary out of my wife's GTO

I also found an undeveloped roll of film in her '91 DSM, really wanted to get it developed, but I knew the previous owners g/f was underage, so didn't want to end up in jail :rofl:

[Crymson]

I found a dead and mummified frog.

LOL where?

[lellowrx7]

I bought a 93 celica two years back.
I found a jigsaw and a blade kit in the trunk, the guy said if it came with the car it was mine. :dunno:
Then later cleaning the car up a half eaten sandwhich and a block of noodles in a wrapper in the engine bay.

[Vagabond142]

When I bought my civic, I did a pretty thorough lookthrough, nothing but a 1990's map of Calgary that was severely weather damaged (looked like the dude tried to read it in the rain, OUTSIDE the car), and about $10 in change under the driver and passenger seats. :dunno:

Nothing exciting.

However, at Pick Your Part when I had to get a replacement driver's seat for my car (the old owner was seriously 400+ lbs and had broken one of the seat boltdowns), I took a dig through the wrecker car to see if there were any interesting items-of-opportunity to grab. I found a porn dvd, a nice knife (ivory handle with a 440 steel blade), and a full toolkit in the trunk (which I still have <_< >_>), one of those Jobmate minikits with ratchets and screwdrivers.

Not odd but a bag of weed shake and eyedrops stuffed into the dash just above the gear shift on the passenger side.

I imported a honda and found a ten mil and a few coins

[Benny]

Found some Oakley sunglasses in my Accord. Left a message with the owner but he didn't call me back. My fucking dog chewed them up anyway. :banghead:

Found all kinds of stupid shit in my old Chevy when I bought her. Tons of rusty old tools, lots of garbage, nothing really valuable. The only thing I kept was an old bottle opener.

Nothing too cool :dunno:

Fixed!

[BokCh0y]

Stuff I found:

- tons of gum
- typical change
- golf balls/tees
- coffee stains
- some ugly chicks I'd

Nothing really cool to be honest.

[Zero102]

I recently bought a FC rx-7 as a summer toy, and while cleaning it up and starting to work on it I found a few interesting things and although I am sure these are not the most interesting by far, it got me wondering what you guys have found in cars you bought?

I'll start:

86 Porsche 944 NA: The seats slope down towards the back and if you wear dress pants they will empty your pockets down onto the floor on both sides of the seat. The hand brake is on the left in this car and the carpet has an opening around the handle. When I bought the car I saw a toonie sitting down there so I pulled the carpet back a bit to get it out, and found many more. A total of $42 in toonies and loonies (no smaller change) was found under the carpet beside the handbrake

87 RX-7 GX: On the way home I heard a rattle coming from the armrest area. Knowing the hinge was broken and worrying more about the worn out tires, non-functional speedometer and other issues I didn't bother looking into it right away. When I got home and opened the arm rest I found this:
http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8446/20110422173841.th.jpg (http://img52.imageshack.us/i/20110422173841.jpg/)

There was about 1.5" of change in the armrest, approximately 3lbs (since it was all small change it only totaled a little over $9), 4 lighters a $25 petro-canada gift card (still need to check if it has anything on it) and a bunch of pens. As I removed the change I found that there was almost a 1/8" thick layer of ground up pot in the bottom of the arm rest and some torn up baggies.
Later that afternoon I pulled the shifter boot off to check the bushings and found a PILE of pot ashes and a half-burned joint.
Also, there was a decent cd in the deck (old crows young cardinals)

So, what have you guys found in cars you bought?

[E46..sTyLez]

A buddy of mine bought a 97 jetta off some g'd up guy then got a call a few hours later the guy called and said he forgot something in the car. He met up with him, the guy pulled the inside door handle loose, reached inside and grabbed about a 1/4 of blow and said "thanks" then left...that's all I've got haha

[Kloubek]

I found about $150 in a mixture of poker chips and loonies wedged between the rear seat and the trunk of a car once.

In another car which I recently sold, I found out the owner previous to me had stashed some hash oil under the seat. Apparently, it was high grade stuff.

I found a pair of pliers stuffed beside a radiator support on my gf's car too.

[Arthur Dent]

Probably most interesting finds came out of my old Reliant Scimitar GTE. It came with some what looked like to me horse equipment, heavy chains, a neat suction cup mounted electric window defroster and best of all a vintage Fuzz Buster II radar detector. Its from the early 70s and has a differs from the original Fuzzbuster by the addition of K-Band. The oh so fake wood grain finish and over sized amber light give it a nice 70s vibe. According to The Radar Detector Museum it was produced by Electrolert Corporation in Troy, OH, USA.

That Fuzzbuster is awesome! I found one just like it in my Dad's shop years ago, it still kinda worked i know because a RCMP clocked me outside sundre one day and the Fuzzbuster bellowed this awful beep, It was way too late though. The cop had a good laugh when i showed it to him. It got left in a car in the field and went with the car when crusher time came.

Most interesting thing i've ever found in a car was a live Eel in a bag of water when i worked for Avis. The owner had someone pick it up later that day.

A copy of "Thriller" was somehow wedged behind the ashtray.

Still worked too:thumbsup:

[FraserB]

USB key, probably full of porn.

I didnt want to check since the car belonged to a friends brother before me.

[rizfarmer]

thong panties in spare tire well of '95 Talon!

[DonJuan]

Ipod Video back when it just came out. Awesome find!

[Chantastic]

Pretty sure there was a thread about this sometime last year...anyways, always a good read!

'92 240SX: The car got hit in front of my house for the SECOND time, and since this time it was my brothers friend I figured I could save him some cash by pulling the rear seats out to save on labor. In the process, I found the most rusted out tools and a aerosol can that was missing almost a third of its body, all resting inside my quarter panels (which are equally rusted). But then, came the crazy thing. I was pulling the rear seats out and I found old cd's, busted glass, candy, and a resume belonging to a girl who worked at Flesh Gordan's in London Ontario LOL. I would have taken a pic but it was ripped in half (the last name portion was also missing so I couldn't facebook her) and almost the whole thing was almost illegible. I posted that as my status on facebook, and a friend of mine who makes web comic based on status updates made the cartoon at the bottom:
