    I remember when I worked at Pep Bums I used to claim loose change when ever I removed rear seats to do things like strutts or fuel pumps... I would buy myself a soda curtousy of the owner :)

    I put a new heater core in a `68 Camaro once and found a piece of aluminum foil folded into a rectangle...when I unfolded it I found four dollars and some change inside (it had fallen down the defroster vent. None of the money was newer than 1971! I`ve found most of the stuff listed in the above posts including a $5.00 bill stashed INSIDE the zip up upholstry cover on the armrest of a 1986 T-bird I owned!
    I still don`t know what made me look there.

    Also in a 1970 Torino GT I found an ORIGINAL first design FuzzBuster radar detector that was a metal case that was covered in "woodgrain" stick on covering and On the front it had the Fuzzbuster logo,a BIG RED light,and a rotary dial That I believe said "gain" below it. There was a cord with a plug for the cigar lighter on it.

    In my Maverick I found 3ยข

    Found a gun in a car at the wreckers. Also found a sawed off shotgun under the front seat of our 71 Chev pick up. We owned it for about a year when we stumbled on this sawed off weapon under the seat. Found a stash of 6 Holley carbs in a van at the wreckers.

    I found a Camel cigarette tin with a dope pipe, a small bag of weed, some papers, a joint roller, a matchbox full of pot seeds, a tiny brown bottle with cocaine(?) in it, several 1 inch ziplock baggies with gold screens in them, a lighter and some pot sticks inside the trunk. Under the carpet inside I found a $20 bill and there were panties under the seat.
    It was a 1967 Plymouth Valiant Signet 2dr post previously owned by a house full of hippies and was communal property.

    welding masks eye glass peices, makes sense since my grandfather was a welder. mouse turds. Kmart shocks in the trunk.

    in my dads camaro there was a pair of kakhi shorts, and an abe lincoln biography book that was missing half the pages, and a broken 1/4 inch craftsmen ratchet, and a water glass in the trunk, i figure it was for scooping out the rain water that came in through the weatherstripping.
