Today, in my 67 SS coupe, when I removed the rear inner trim panels, I found an old pair of binoculars, a childs tennis shoe and a beer can with the old syle pull off opener,,,what is the strangest, long lost items you've found in your Camaro?

It wasn't in a Camaro, but I found a 71, 72, and 73 Sears & Robuck catalogs still in their paper wrappers in the 70 model bug that I bought when I was 16. I also found several calendars of that era.

I just removed the rear seat from a 67 firebird the other day at work, which had never had the rear seat removed before. I found an old smog slip, some change which was dated from the mid and late sixties and one of the old owners or passengers wallet.

Freekin hypodermic seringe (sp?), in a 77 TA, which was wrecked. Go figure.

Most cars I had were very interesting to strip down, almost like an archiologist uncovering history. The newest money I found in one of my 71 Z28's was from 1975, and I found drive in movie ticket stubs dated in the early 70's. (this car was parked for 18 years before I got it).

I found a pair of panties in my 80Z shortly after I got it. They were stuffed under the passenger seat. I don't recall if I was responsible for them getting there, or if they were included in the purchase price.

i found a bunch of pop cans and shop rags in the quarter panel of my 76 monte when i kicked it and the bondo fell out of the quarter panel. these items were mixed into the bondo to add structural integrity. gotta love Minnesota cars and shady bodywork.

Cool

I had two 33-gal trash bags full of women's clothing,

I ponder about seeing the last owner, a size small purple T-shirt, size 5, 5-inch black heels, thong underclothes.

But the best thing I found in the clean-out of the back seat and trunk is a '68 penny. I put it into the glove box for safekeeping (luck).

When I pulled by back seat of my 69 Z/28 I found a package of Bayer Aspirin in one of those samll tins they used to sell. It is Circa 1970, also an insurance slip for one of the previous owners dated 1972, some coins dated in the 60s, and best of all beautiful shiny Garnet red paint. That is what you get with a 30,000 mile original car!

My '69 had been parked for about 5 years when I bought it. I found several speeding, exhibition of speed, racing, and equipment violation tickets in the car. Turned out Dad grounded the kid and when he found out the equipment violation was for stripping the smog gear off the car was parked for good.

I worked in a VW repair shop in high school and college - you wouldn't believe the stuff we found in customers cars! Bags of rotten fast food, plenty of drugs and pot, knee deep trash, guns - it's unbelieveable how people keep their cars.
