Hey! There’s no easy button for a body like this!
Ok, I'm stealing this topic from another board I hang out at. The storys and pictures (is available) are pretty damn cool so I thought I would bring the topic here to see what you guys have found in your car.

I pulled the rear seat out of my car nott long after buying it. (I cant remember why) and found a VERY old joint. It was super dry. :D What did I do with it? Umm.... I turned it in to the nearest local law enforcment agency of course.:wtf::toot:

I pulled all the seats and carpet to run wires for the radio and cd player (their in the trunk and run my remote) When I pulled up the front carpet I found an unused set of keys for my car complete with the factory taggs still ringed to them.

Under my trunk carpet I found a tag for the stripe kit. I don't remember what it sayes exactly but it somthing like "stripe X9"

I know a few of the "cool" stuff Jass has found over the years. The '72 RR turned out to be quite the treasure trove.:D

Yeah, I pulled about $5 in change out from under the carpet. I also found a speeding ticket for 115MPH in a 55, some Old Spice after-shave, and a bottle of Scope mouthwash. I think I still have the speeding ticket somewhere, but it's badly faded now. I spent the change on Pac-Man and the Old Spice and Scope went in the trash.

The coolest thing I have automotively? Toss up between the F1 spark plug and my throttle body for the 340.
 
I have a poster autographed by the hosts of BBC's Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. It's framed and in my living room. :dance:

The reader's ride page from Mopar Muscle that my wagon made it into is framed and hung under the above poster. :D

A pistol grip shifter from an E-body with console and a Hurst shifter from a '69 Road Runner with a bench seat.

I'm sure I'll think of more.
 
Not cool things, the coolest thing. I have tons of cool stuff floating around. I think my throttle body wins the day, because it's something I can actually use.
 
in fishys cuda there was always a hump in the floor...now mind you this was long before it was his...eventualy i did a lil digging and found it to be a never intalled dome light bucket

my 58 behind the NEVER removed door panels was a old beer can with the entire top removed and washed clean..it was dusty but nice enuf and a brand i hadnt heard of

as far as really cool not just od ..ill have to think on that
 
Hmmm. Until my brain can dredge up other memories, I'll go with:

In the pile of stuff that came with my 69, I found the original owners manual.

I've got the D O D G E hood letters from the first family car the I ever remember - my Dad's Dodge 330 Slant 6.
 
I found the original window sticker in my '00 Dakota R/T. It cost a little over $25k new.

I'd forgotten that somewhere I have all the original paperwork for my '73 Challenger, right down to the trade-in agreement, original window sticker, and amazingly, the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, which was supposed to be given to the state in order for them to issue a title. How that survived, I don't know.

It would be a lot cooler if I still had the car.
 
69 and I were cleaning out one of the 3 2nd gen fish he scored for a steal of a price. In the trunk we found something wrapped in a plastic bag and newspaper. 2 or 3 old pot pipes. I ended up selling them to a friend of ours :D
 
Oh. Stuffed in the original yellow Wieand box, is the stock listings from 1973 (if I remember right) L.A. Times.
 
When cleaning out my 73 Roadrunner years ago I reached into the quarter panel to clean out guff and crap and came up with a partially decomposed mouse....:hurl: I also found a bunch of crayons, some melted to the floor boards by where the dual exhaust ran.

I recently found an old 3.08 bullet in the 48 Desoto, as well as an old movie ticket from the 50's.

When I picked up the 2nd gen dodge ram seat for the crewcab it had a LOT of loose weed on, in and around it. Guess they used it as a sorting area. :shifty:
 
my boss had what we latter found out to be an intermitantly bad ignition in his honda...its ALWAYS had a rattle in the dash..he found a bullet in there(atleast double the size of a 22 but i dont know ammo)..it had been fired but not shot..IE there was not 1 not 2 but 3 pin hits and 100% still intact!

now this one doesnt seem as cool when i tell it but to me its extra cool.....when i got my 69 cuda it had its ORIGINAL washington plates in it...i slowly scrapped layers of tags off and found some "odd" tags all dating back to 70....fast forward to a few weeks ago..i noticed them on the garage door and had a look at the "odd" tags on it..they are washington to victoria ferry tags......now mind you that means my 1st car was in victoria BEFORE i was..riding the same ferry ive been riding for over a 2 years
 
Coolest thing from a car would have to be my old RimBlow steering wheel from the very first Dart I bought (My first Car).

The coolest thing period would be a couple of Avro Arrow parts, I had some family who worked for Avro subcontractors who took some souvenirs when the project was murdered. A budy of mine has a single blade from an Orenda Iroquois engine.
