Whats the coolest thing you found in your new purchase?
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...
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!  |

large bladed Machete under the seat!!
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!!!

In the back of my splitty
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

hahaha!! I found a full baggie of grass under the dash of a mazda 1300 I got for parts for the gf's (at the time) car.
It looked a little too dry for smokin' so I missed out on finding what the craze (haze?) was all about.

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.

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.
