In a car that I was scrapping: 72 Dodge Dart $10 in the heater vent, in today's money that's about $ 25. On cars with heat only, there was a door you opened under the passenger dash for fresh air, the $ was stashed in there.

What I've found in customers cars.

Some sort of Disco cologne under the seats of a 74 or so Porsche 914 . As a side note, this car was possessed, the German equivalent of Christine and curse of the Mummy all wrapped up in one. This car was previously owned by the x husband of my then lady friend. She had thought it was out of her life until years later it turned up in the hands of someone in our auto racing club.

The car had perpetual issues, others called it "The Black Devil Car." A few people that came into contact with it suffered such ills as their race cars motor blowing up and such. ( We told you not to sit in the car! )

Finally the engine blew up and was taken to a local race shop. While the engine was in the back of the shop truck on it's way to a Porsche engine specialist, the shop truck was crashed and totaled.

But wait, there's more! Finally with a good engine the 914 was up to speed. So much speed that it rolled over. . . , on a nearly flat surface,. . . without hitting anything. The final indignity was rolling the car back over on it's good side. Last I heard it was in CA causing earth quakes , global warming and sick puppies.

Ford 302 V8 , a short wrench in the oil pan. Someone must have changed the timing chain at some point and dropped it in.

A 3 ft tall fig tree in the back seat.

Lots and lots of french fries , hamburger bits and cookies in , you guessed it, mini vans.

Occasional tools under the hood, top of frame, inner body panels.
