the dodgey repairs thing reminded me of some cool stuff that I have found over the years in cars I have bought.

a '63 morris 1100 I got for $100 from work (who got it off the original owner more or less) had a newspaper under the spare tyre (original tyre too) which was dated '68. that was a good read!

a '76 lancer parts car had over $50 in coins under the back seat. That meant half my $$$ back on the $100 purchase

an abandoned milko's van dumped outside school in the bushg back in the early '90's had $30 in coins and a pieere cardan watch under the driver's seat...

in 1980 I found a good once of grass under the back seat of a 76 Camaro I bought from a wreckers when I lived in the states.....it was a bit dry!!!!:party

I do not condone the use of illegal drugs......

Speedster,
How do You know what an ounce of grass looks like...?? and whether it is dry or not...

You fellows are just plain LUCKY...
All I can ever remember finding was a large bladed "Machete" as used in Jungles under the drivers seat of a Mitsubishi L300 I owned years ago.
I didn't find it for a long time.. It was in its leather case too... the previous owner wasn't going to be car jacked!!! or Van Jacked!! if He was, it probably would have been by a one armed man!!!

Box of 50 .38 calibre bullets in the heating vents of a 77 cortina

:o

I found a set of roller blades, a brand new set of mudflaps, a frying pan, a pillow, $30 in coins and an old schooner glass.

And then I opened the rear drawers to find the original awning set in great condition.

Couldn't believe my luck!!

Cheers

I once found that the inside (and the outside) of my volvo was in fact not mine at all and really belonged to someone else other than the $%#@ I paid the money to.

would have to be the radio.... an old 6v radio... but then there is the rat's nest in the fire wall... no pot tho.. :P

We got an 8 track stereo with 3 tapes in the ghia coupe we just got.

um, the remains fo the last front windscreen in the cooling vents, pair of jeans, slab of granite (maybe marble? didnt have a close look, but it was F-ing heavy), oh yeah when i got my good bus home there was a roofrack, original manual, set of temp guages, mesh visor and detach face sony head unit floating around inside.

had a new cd player under the seat ,$38.62 in coins . a blow up sex doll still in the plastic packet ( gave that to my bro ) a dead snake well half of it ! new dizzy cap , new plugs , and a spare 009 dizzy :alien

i found half a coconut in my 67, not very exciting, but then again i dont get out much

thats all i found about 20kg of sand to remove so it dont stuff the suspension i was not happy, but then again i found $2 under it all so there was light at then end of the tunnell ...

Cheers

My first bus, a 62 that I still own today, had boxes of NOS parts in it. Everything you could imagine. It was a great day. I bought it for $1000 and it had about that much in the rear in parts! As well as some parts that I still can't identify.
