Interesting things you've found in cars

we have a towing company, How about a wood box with a creamated person in it(mom)I wanted to leave it in the car when we took it to the junk yard. $2500 cash, Gun , brand new air condioner porno movies and player. Sex toys, viagra, large bag of dope and i mean suitcase size.

 

I wonder what the total would be if someone went back and added up the dollar amounts of all the cash finds from this thread only? Food for thought.

Maybe I should look harder at the local U-Wrench-It!

Nitrofc....It was a Fred Gibb nova ...396???

 

Many MANY moons ago back in my senior year of high school I took a friends grandmother to a car lot and she bought a crappy old Pinto staionwagon for $250 (all she could afford)... that afternoon her grandson and I were cleaning the car up for her and we found over $400 in food stamps under the back seat....

That was a cool find...that old lady really needed them.

 

Cool thread ! Maybe when I tear apart the Riv I can contribute more. So far all I found were some old soda bottles in the box of an old '53 Fargo I owned. Cleaned em up, and their on display in the house.

My dad is a tow truck driver that does alot of local police and chp calls. I asked him over the weekend about stuff he's found, and he's got some pretty good stories! He showed me a .22 cal zip gun made from a AA Maglite flash light He took from a tweakers impounded shitty ass civic.

He picked up a lincoln from a chp wreck call, and it was in the yard for about a week when the yard started to smell really bad. So they told the boss and he didn't belive them and let it go another week before he walked out there himself and almost passed out from the smell. They found the car it was coming from (the lincoln) and searched it and found nothing inside...then they popped the trunk and sitting on top of the spare tire cover was the drivers ear!!!! The WHOLE EAR and part of his cheek, so they called the chp who thought it was no big deal....

Then there was a guy from the LA area in a brand new Dodge avenger who pulled into the wrong deadend alley in pomona to buy some smack, and didn't know anyone there. Three gun men emptied full clips into him and didn't miss once. There were holes and blood all over the car, and deep puddles of blood in the drivers seat and seat back. The car sat in the yard for almost a month and stank to high heaven. They weren't allowed to move or thouch it as it was still police evidence, when the police finally released it as evidence they had a hell of a time getting rid of it.

Thats just a couple of the ones he told me

How bout a dead cat wedged up in the fan....poor lil sucker was just lookin for a warm spot to take a nap. I worked at a BMW dealer with some questionable clients. Weve found ever thing from bags of heroin to guns, to a 18" 2 headed purple rubber dildo...No! I didnt keep that one, put it did find its way in someones tool box.

 

Back in 87 my friend and i brought his 1960 corvette back out of storage to start racing it again.He wanted to replace the dash pad witch was cracked when I removed the dash pad we found two 1958 one dollar silver cirtificates rolled up and glued in a small cutout area in the foam padding. his Dad bought the car back in 1961 so we they were put in there when the car was built. That was a lot of money back in the day just to give away.

 

I found an old set of earring's behind the dash of my 46 vert. I could only imagine she was on her back when she conveniently stashed them there.

 

Probably inspecting the heater...

I used to work at a Saturn Dealership when someone traded in a car. The Traded in car went to the detail shop to get cleaned up for resale. The Detail shag came up to a few of us to show us what he had found in the car...... A infestation of little tiny crabs.... And they were not the ones you find at Red Lobster....He was mortified when he learned what they were.

 

Way back when I was working in the local Chevy dealership, there was an Olds towed in and parked out behind the shop. It was a no-start with a 350 diesel. It sat out there all day. Finally, about 4 in the afternoon, I was sent out to check it out. So I pop the hood and take the air cleaner lid off and was about scared to death by a big black cat jumping out of there. He must have crawled up in there to get warm and couldn't get out, so when the owner tried to start the car, the air supply was cut off. After I regained my composure, I tried the starter .... it started right up.
Can't top the purple dildo. But I would've put it in someone's toolbox, too.

 

I was cleaning my first car for the first time and under the rear seat I found an old army patch with my last name on it but i didn't buy it from anyone in the family just a wierd coincidence...or destiny!!!

 

It may be destiny.

I read a story once about some poor guy who jumped out of his jeep and went for the ditch when a shell came out of the sky, right at him during WWII in the Pacific. The bomb didn't explode, but it did come apart and flack was strewn all over the jeep. One of the pieces of iron had his full name on it.

Turns out the Japanese had bought scrap to fill the bombs with from all over. Back in '35 that guy had used a welder and put his name in the side of the block of his Ford. He had long since sold the motor when it died to a local junkman, and by sheer coincidence the part of the block with his name on it had ended up in a bomb made on the other side of the World, having been sold from scrap dealer to scrap dealer, changing hands many times over. One that almost did him in.

I guess he kept it.

That might've been on Paul Harvey once, too.

 

Holy shit, if that is real it would scare the fuck clear out of you. Cool story.

 

PAUL HARVEY NEVER LIES.

 

That is wild

 

When I lifted out the back seat to put seatbelts in for the kids, I found some dishonorable discharge papers from a previous owner. He got tired of serving and just disappeared. They found him a few months later.

I also found the original owner's manual.

Nothing too juicy.

 

My buddy was removing a steering column from a 1990s car in a metal recycle yard....top of a guys head rolled out from under the dash!!!!

 

My dad used to work for Allstate in accident claims- used to tell those kind of stories all the time at dinner- hands, feet, or whatever stuck under the pedals, in the dash, etc.

Helped a friend of mine pull the carpet out of this 59 Sedan de Ville last weekend, and found a newpaper stuck between the carpet and the floorboards. It was dated Thursday, March 6, 1958. Seemed kind of early in the year to be building a 59 model, but there it was.

 

YOU would probably be the first guy to actually smuggle weed INTO Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i work as a Bus driver on the lower downtown east side, weirdest thing i ever found at the end of the line was someone left their wheel chair still strapped in and colostomy bag.....time to call a supervisor

 

Was the bag full?

 

Yes sir, Yes sir, three bags, full?

 

Colostomist- is the bag half empty or half full?

 

Whn I was cleaning out my '57, I wound a few odds and ends... nothing to great, old coins and the like.

when I pulled the seats out to wash the inside down, I found the words "Fuck Grant" scratched into the metal behind the back seat... so I walked over to my dad and asked who Grant was. he said "When I was young, we had a farm-hand named Grant. When he was 21 he drove out to the gravel pit and shot himself in the head... why?"

So I show him what I'd found and he told me the car was owned by Grant's mom, and he figured it must have been one of the other son's messing about when they were little.

creepy

 

I found a KKK "a member in good standing" badge under the back seat of a 66 gto parts car i bought outside vandalia il. WEIRD.
