Nick Winter Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 I remember while helping my cousin Ted gets parts for his project car opening the trunk of a '66 ford fairlane to find about 200 empty beer cans.
JamesW Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 It was "adult" oriented. Let's just say I decided not to get anything off that car.
B_rad88 Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) lol, this is always a fun topic, i have found lots of junk and some really wierd stuff. on different trips to the different junkyards: -i found a dead mexican once. he dropped a transmission on his head and laid there bleeding out of his ear all day. i was up the row a few cars under a metro and the way i was laying i could see him under the other cars. after a while, it struck me that he hadn't moved in about a half an hour so i walked over and looked. yep, deader than a door nail. -I found a Taliban sandy under a 4X4 that had fallen off the stands on top off him at Pick & Pull. I think the wee chaps name was Pin Dundar Jeep at least that's what he was screaming out.....Pin Dundar Jeep....Pin Dundar Jeep, to bad sandy was no speaka da english -i found a dog skeleton under a civic, and then a came across a metro. it had 4-$20 dollar bills and $6.82 in change plus it had a real platnium and diamond neckless w/ matching earings. the strang thing is no womans clothes, just mens. -i was out at the junkyard and found a hotwheels toy car from 1969, a corgi from gt. britain, and a matchbox made by lendsey products, in aussie 1968. plus i also found a brand new ipod touch NOT THE PHONE, a digital camera, and i found another $43.79. -i also found this: (the pic) Edited March 17, 2010 by B_rad88
Nick Winter Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 I just called my uncle, he bought a new project a few days ago, a 68 mustang coupe, base model nothing really special, he found the following while stripping it down, • Glamour Photo of somebody named "Sheila". She's wearing a cowboy hat with a big feather like Richard Petty • Pay stubs from pizza hut (not Sheila's) • Gallon can of Bondo • Bunch of carburetor gaskets all glued together with indian head shellac • New Shocks (in trunk) • 10 pairs of safety glasses • About 250 pennies • 10 empty Winston packs • Big Chilton's shp manual on "all cars 1965 to 1982". I don't think so • Business card for some guy in Maryland that deals in parts for 79-82 Oldsmobiles (but why?) • Several more empty bottles of margerine vodka • Many many grease rags • Pair of "Vans" jogging shoes approx size 13 • Coffee can full of important bolts • 2 little bottles of Jack Daniels like they use on Airplanes. • Insurance notice telling the owner he didn't send enough money for his payment so they're cancelling the insurance and also want the rest of their money. • A brouchure about the Youth Program offered from the VFW • A couple of Japanese works of art • Army Reserve Training books • The front sway bar that has been cut in half with the "blue tip" wrench • Vegetation growing in the bottom of the doors • Old lottery tickets • Army Reserve decal stuck on the dash pad on the passenger side • Seller BUSTED both of the rear interior panels while trying to remove them. And they were good! Doh! • Headliner is covered with black fur material like that used to make velvet Elvis pictures • one C and one D battery • Remote from a Daewoo CD player (I bet Chester wonders where that got to) • Toby Keith "boomtown" tape • 1999 Newspaper • Pulltab collection • Form for Moms to volunteer to make Gingerbread men for 5th grade Christmas party. • Jesus air freshener • New transmission gasket • Blue industrial coveralls, size 38 extra wormy • Peter Pan glass from Burger King. • Handouts from self-esteem presentation at PTA • Laundry Detergent • Big ol' snake skin • Pacifier • keys • a home stereo in the back seat

A totalled Bandit TransAm. Pulling te interior. I was reaching up under the dash trying to see what was holding it in place yet and felt something odd. Pulled it out and it was the mummified hand of the previous owner!!! Forgot about the skeleton in the 36 Studebaker at the scrap yard in Wisconsin where I worked! It had come in on a rail car from Oklahoma with a bunch of other 30's and 40's cars! I do remember it was wearing black and white patent leather shoes though! Edited March 17, 2010 by Johnny
