Today I was working on stripping a little more of the Mustang and was looking around inside the engine and found kind of a weird thing. I guess the previous owner was just in the mood for tying a wire one day. There is a wire and it's just tied in a circle around a few more badly routed headlight wires. I might understand if it was there holding the wires together but it's like 2-3 inches in diameter and just hanging there. Why would someone do this? Lol I also found a traffic ticket, a business card w/ a phone number on the back, a pillow (washed my hands after that one), and a child's mothers day card in the interior at other times. So my questions is: what are the weirdest things you've ever discovered while working on your cars? Maybe I should have put this in the off topic section but I figured I'd get the best results if I just asked it here

 

Found a movie ticket from 1979 in my Cougar. I found the window sticker to my police interceptor under the back seat when checking it prior to putting a bad guy back there Heres a pic of the cougar

I found nothing in my car.

 

Nice Cougar. Did you keep the ticket?

 

Nope, unfortunately I put all the junk in a box I found in the trunk and tossed it. There was so much crap in that car, from mustang gas caps, to nasty fuzzy seat covers, to yosemite sam floor mats. It all went in the box and in the dumpster.

Heres a pic of the window sticker out of the police car, I thought it was pretty interesting to see!!

If you check the vin youll see I did a nice bit o damage to her on some ice back in 03, but after $8k in fixin, shes good as new!! (paid for by the county of course!!)
I got that car when it had 18 miles now it has 97k

where the rear shocks bolt up to the body of the car on my 66 i found a [&:]butload of nails, dont know what they were gonna use those for

 

I pulled the B&M shifter out and found a vintage roach......not the squishy kind.

 

In my old Dodge Dart, I found some phone numbers to a "private escort" under the carpet while checking out the floor pans...Made me cringe...[X(]

 

I found a service receipt for an oil change from 1971 in a 65 mustang coupe that I had, it was under **** carpet the previous owner used to replace the original rug.

 

I found a program to a football game in texas....I live in VA and the cars been in the family since 73.
