cool stuff found in cars during tear down

[RS23VOA]

Roadrunnerman,
They were all too anxious to get rid of the car so they could close on the house, whick i'm sure brought a pretty penny. There wasn't a key to the trunk either. He said, "if you find anything valuable, let us know". I said, sure thing.

This is all pre internet...
Ive bought police cars from auctions several times, Found shotgun ammo every time.
Bought a Crown vic from a cab company and found an old CCCP russian passport. After contacting several different agencies trying to return it to the rightful owner I found out that he was killed and I was paid a visit by the Sherrif's dept who showed up with 2 large gentlemen from the "Russian State ministry". I think this was the "Other" name the KGB used in the 1980's.
I was briefly questioned by my new soviet friends on the reason why I had a dead russian mans passport. My story apparently checked out cause they never came back. I cringe to imagine what could have happened if they questioned my story.
Id be sitting in a dark Ukrainian prison thinking "I KNEW I SHOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT THAT CROWN VIC"

No Joke

I found a left index finger in a 1968 Barracuda that had been T boned. I assume it was the driver's finger who didn't need it any longer as he was dead! It was under what was left of the driver's seat.

here's a cool but disappointing tale, back in '83 I bought a 70 road runner convertible basket case.
383 car, but as I pull out the seats I see the build sheet and just figured good to have, then I noticed the VIN on the sheet was for a V-code car! Of course I ran to double-check the dash plate, fender tag and radiator support! Nope, not mine, Rats.

that is a neat roadrunner convertible what happened to it and was it a 4 speed

Working on sons first car, a 91 formula. We are at the local upullit.
Son spotted a console in a trans am in better shape than his. While pulling the console we found roughly $22 in quarters. they charged $15 for the console. In my 30 years of playing with cars this is the only time i can remember coming out ahead.
