I finally get out side and get a chance to do something productive and I end up right back on here !!! any way this happened today I was cleaning out my 51 , Striping all the old bating & 4! old seat covers "all with hog rings!" getting them ready for blasting tomorrow.,,,,While cleaning up, I find a 1944 mercury dime!!!!" For any coin buffs "My wife is" it is in almost mint condition, You can see the braid and feathers. I don't know what that is? I don't care !.I just think its really cool, I just thought I'd share that. :grin: What have you guys and girls ("ladies") found????????????

I found a moldy condom box.

At least it's better than a moldy condom !

spent my dime on a 68 Cyclone fast back W/ 302 HO. 4V W/ 3 on d tree and only 28,000 miles. Beats smellin a moldy old box !

Whilst taking out the interior of my '71 P6 last month to make some floor repairs, i found a perfectly preserved fish in a cavity under the passenger seat, all dried out!
I estimate it must have been there for at least ten years, as it would have been discovered when repairs were made to the floor in that area a decade ago.
The car always did have a bit of an odd smell, but as soon as i disturbed it there was a seriously funky smell that im still trying to get rid of. One of the previous owners must have rubbed someone up the wrong way at some stage.... the car must have seriously reeked after a couple of weeks!!

Road kill cat on top of the intake manifold in the summer time is a sure way of getting even with that one person who rubbed ya the wrong way. especially when they arn't a gear head! What I would have gave to be a fly on the headliner in that car after a week!!

Cut a quarter panel skin off and found a 30.06, live round, down by the inner rocker. Glad it didn't get hit in the cutting!

a loaded gun ......... ooooooooooo schit! ! ! ! ! ! and I found it 3 days after getting pulled over by St Louis's finest............joe

Got pulled over in south Texas and as the police were searching the car being real "nice" guys, one of em got bit by a rat, while diggin in the trunk. Needless to say they where in a hurry to get him to the neerest tetnus shot and let us go without another word.

Justin, are you trying to stir up that "rat rod" thing again?

I guess this means I can be cool in there social circle, having gained the true meaning of the title!

while taking the dash off the ltd, i came across a sheet with all the specs of the car and the options on it. it's been in there for a good long time and is very fragile. very cool stuff to know what options i got

road kill cats , naw what you really want to do is to put some fresh garlic cloves down the defroster tubes in the dash at the windshield. They are guarenteed to keep on giving for months and months. Think about it where would you look for that smell ?
about those finds !! Along with my 68 Cyclone w/ 302 4V HO and 3 on the tree it came with a 66-427 YES sideoiler!! Now that worth finding and dragging home !

Best I have done was while stripping the interior of my 34 Plymouth I happened to find a Detroit police badge. I turned it into the local 50's and to my suprise (and horror) it had once belonged to a famous gangster of the early 30's (well at least it had been a souvineer from one of his "hits"). Later found out that the car had belonged to this infamous US citizen before being imported to New Zealand in the 1950's. Wound up selling the car to a local musem here in NZ for a pretty few dollars, given that it had once been al capones ride!

In my current beater, an '85 240 Volvo, I found $17.13 in CHANGE when I removed the carpets for cleaning.

Better yet...when I removed the fuel level sender, I found six tampons in the fuel tank, with their respective wrappers...still sealed.

Must have been a good year for plastic.
