I found the original German lic. plates under the rear seat's carpet covering a hole on the pan when I decided to take the whole thing apart.

The original owners manual and maintence records. (I claim these as weird only because in every other antique car I've dealt with they have been trashed long ago.) Also cant forget some clips of a specific type Wink

in one of the rear ashtrays.

Birthday candles by the battery, and at least a couple hundred sunflower seed shells under the back seat (A HUGE PILE).

A child's necklace intertwined with a tow rope that is hopeless tangled around electrical wires under the back seat.

Also found a 1969 Budweiser tin can (empty) at the bottom of the spare tire area. I kept it as a American history.

4 ring shank tin roofing nails used in place of dash screws.
Just found this in a 74 Super I was pulling the speedometer out of to repair the odometer. Dashboard was moving around so I got curious.

I dont know about finding stuff, cause i cant even find the damn engine. I opened the hood, but all thats in there is a gas tank and a spare tire. Laughing

I know, that was a terrible joke.

Inside my 1973 Super, I found some awesome old aviator glasses (I think that's what they are called) from the 80s (like the type from the movie Top Gun) and a license plate from when the car was last registered in 1994. There was also a spare decklid in my car and one of the tailpipes was inside. Cool

There was an old license plate rusted onto the floor pans when I cut them out of my bug. And mostly just random rusted metal stuff like nails, screws, etc. maybe some tape and pieces of paper with drawings done by a kid. I still find things all the time tho in the weirdest places Smile
