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

[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.
Then later cleaning the car up a half eaten sandwhich and a block of noodles in a wrapper in the engine bay.

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.

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

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.

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

I also found an undeveloped roll of film in her '91 DSM, pictures that I took, 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 or in the doghouse.

Fixed!

Stuff I found:

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

Nothing really cool to be honest.

a tube of wasabi...

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:


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.

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.

$600 montblanc pen in my e46 M3

[btimbit]

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

Still worked too

[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!

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

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:

Oh and I have a friend who also owns a 240, and said when he took apart the center console around the ebrake, there was a whole cookie.
