We were given a 914 by a pissed off shop owner whose customer left the car. We found enough canned food in the trunk for a Thanksgiving dinner, boxes of new kitchen utensils, broken cell phone, and boxes of electrical hardware. Much of the stuff was under the engine and trans that they dumped into the interior of the car.

A friend found a 45 automatic and a bag of weed in the door of a VW bus. Figured the last owners were paranoid hippies.

Dropped the engine on my car and put in the new rubber, found my Iphone that I lost 2 months earlier. It was wedged in the other hell hole under the relay box. Not sure how it wound up there, but it didn't work.

I bought a 64 RHD Karmann Ghia some years back, found various papers and crap behind the rear seat together with some garden hosepipe and a receipt from Woolworths. When I contacted what i thought was the original owner, his wife angrily yelled at me and hung up. It turns out he gassed himself in the car, the hospepipe was an offcut...

A mint '64 dime in a '66 911 I used to have. That was the neatest thing. The rest have yeilded coins, condoms, receipts, and matches. Nothing really unusual.

If we are not just talking about pcars- The Elcamino my neighbor and I just picked up had, a bible, some rosary beads, some prayer cards, a bunch of used and new condoms, a spoon that looks like it was heated with a cigarette lighter, a hypo-needle, a portable CD player, and some hustlers. I think he must have been very confused.

In anything other than an El Camino, that would seem like an odd assortment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Recent 914 had several silver coins lodged under the E-brake. Other than that, this was under the seat of my '66 lincoln when I brought it home.
