[paulram]

What is the strangest thing you found in your car?  I've confirmed my car came from the west coast...

 

This guy stripped himself down in the heater box...

Mine was a parking pass to a community college the year after it was made. You sure have me beat.

Looks like the shedded skin from an Aligator lizard.  They are very common in California.

 

I only slightly weird thing I found was a 'Green Party' button under the back seat of my '73 tii.

My father bought a 1941 Graham Hollywood that was sitting in a barn for over 30 years. We popped the trunk open and there was a skeleton of a cat with four baby cat skeletons next to it like they are nursing.

LOL. I also found a roach clip in the red car I had. Along with numerous pocket combs and match books. Kinda unusual I thought since it was a one owner attorney's car.

Found an unopened pack of firecrackers under some carpet. They still lit off too!

20 yrs ago I moved my tii to a warehouse for storage.  Now that I have it back in my garage I am going through it. When I removed the front seats I found my "stolen" diver's watch.  20 yrs ago I was 100% sure someone stole it during a garage sale.  So much for being 100% sure!

 

Not weird but I also found the Oct. 1993 issue of Roundel in a seat pocket.  Classified section has dozens of 2002s for sale including: 74 tii CA car vin 2782777 "near zero rust" $2,950; another 74 CA car tii vin 2782296 "no rust" $6,750 OBO; 73 TX car tii vin 2764350 "absolutely no rust" $5,550.  Bill Howard's End Piece article stated: "A 72-74 tii that sells for $4,000-$6,000 today could be worth $8,000-$10,000 in 5 yrs"  :-)

No in an 02 but...., I bought a little Peugeot 306 diesel a few years back after crashing an E30 320i into a ford transit of all things and when I was cleaning out the interior, I found a numbered keyring to a locker I had in work that I lost about 5 years before hand same number, script exactly, had to have been the same one, I must have taken a lift in this car years before and didnt remember. I didnt know the owner or the car before buying it. Oh and I still used the same locker!

A carb choke symbol disc button that is usually found in the knob under the carpet of an early market 1972 tii and a couple pfennings

'German coins" in the same car behind gauge cluster behind dash destined for US.

Found this in the glove box when I bought the car.  The weird part:  the seller didn't know the car had a trunk key!
