I found a dead crispy mouse in the heater vent.

I am thinking that any condom you get to use is a lucky condom...

I found an old padlock with the ford emblem engraved on the side, and a matching ford key that works the thing inside the passenger door.  I have no idea why it was in there, how it got there, or what they were even used for.  I also found remnants of what use to be the build sheet in the same location.  Maybe the lock was a factory thing.  Have you guys ever seen one?

No, I'd rather not re-use one that belonged to someone else.... call me picky I guess.

I found, an OLD dentyne gum wrapper, a dealer key tag for a yellow '67 Mustang, half a screwdriver sticking up through the drivers side rocker panel and a build sheet taped to the wiring harness.

Found an unopened condom condom inside a magnetic key box hidden up in the dash. Baby blue wrapper and very brittle.

Haven't found anything "weird".

Did a few scraps of what's left of my build sheet.

Found a fake diamond ear ring under the seat when we pulled the interior out to replace the floor pans.

So, did you:

1. Toss it (probably poor choice of wording)?
2. Use it?
3. Keep it?
4. Give it to your buddy to use?

Just the usual pocket change in the 67.  I found some weed in one of the previous cars I had.  In the blue 66 I had at the first Knott's I went to the PO had installed a set of small walnut box speakers on the kick panels.  Hehehehe

I remember putting it on the side of the toolbox as a souvenir but I moved out of my parent's place a while after. And the brittle rubber and much like my buck tag are nowhere to be found.

A 9 mm pistol hidden behind the quarter window panel.

(Different car) 12 gauge shotgun under rear seat.

A $100 bill rolled up tight between the glove box liner and the steel dash.

Enough tools, oil, anti-freeze, jack stands, spare parts to open a car parts store.

A console FULL of money (mostly change).  Looked like someone had tossed it into the front "glove box" where it just fell everywhere. 

Silver dime between the carpet and the underlayment.  Probably cost someone their coffee than morning.

LOTS of weed hidden everywhere you could imagine, all disposed of in the crapper. 

However, the weirdest thing was found on top of a car.  I was supposed to  fix the waves in the roof (this was around 1972 or so).  When it went to grind off the paint, it was FULL of cement.  Short story, it appeared the car had been rolled, and someone had just banged out the worst of the damage, and then trowled on concrete, up to 2" - 3" in places, smoothed it and painted it. 

Needless to say, the car got an entire new roof panel.

I wouldn't mind finding a large bill in my car or a free gun but haven't been so lucky.

I did find an old crashed cigarett box in the bottom of my door when changing the locks...not sure how it got in there...

I think that came from the early 70's. I remember them going around when I was at Luke then....very classic.

In my son's '65, we found a bag weed in the heater box, too.

Also found 2 fender bolts.  The rest of the fenders and grill where held on with coat hangers.  It was the kid's daily driver when we bought it.

Just a couple of bucks worth of change--all from the late 70s and early 80s--in one of the rear ashtrays.  Supposedly, my car spent about 1980 to 1997 in pieces.
70 vert period-correct restomod--not a car like I had when I was a kid but a car like I wished I'd had whn I was a kid.

I had a Crown Vic x state police car that had a cigarette cellophane full of what looked to be crack sticking out between the inner fender plastic and the rocker on the drivers side. I always pictured it being from the cops personal stash lol

I didn't find anything interesting at all.  Only pocket change, random garbage, a tube of superglue, and a box of safety pins.
