Dead mouse under the pedal board. Sounds like your car was owned by a gangster.

Recent 914 had several silver coins lodged under the E-brake. Other than that, this was under the seat of my '66 lincoln when I brought it home.

When I bought my '66 VW Bus, I took it to the police station and asked for a courtesy drug dog sniff test. I was in the military at the time and didn't want to chance my career on a stray 20 y/o joint. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

In my '67 bus I found a mint 1966 5 cent piece under the dash, or how ever their money works.
Must of fell out of a workers pocket.

Dryer sheets keeps away the critters, just don't put them in the engine compartment.

When I took out the seats in My green 914 back in the early 90's
to clean underneath, I found a tape measure, a screwdriver, a watch, and
a cassette of Paul Revere and the Raiders greatest hits.

I found a wallet with 120.00 dollars in it that a woman lost in 1979.i kept the money and sent her back the wallet after i found her.it had old pictures ect i thought she might want it back .she was pretty excited to get it back.
i have found old ass weed i dont know how many times.one car had three little mirrors under the passenger seat with a ton of little tiny straws every where.yuck the 70s.i got some old club cal neva tokens on my desk right now from reno.i was wondering if they had any value since no one in nevada uses tokens any more.

A couple years worth of roaches in the ash tray, a 30 year old carton of Swisher Sweets and about a buck worth of loose change.

Coins, brass knuckles, and a funeral announcement. Turned out the relatives of the guy who passed away drove his 914 to the funeral in memory of him. I guess they said he really like his cars and this was their way of putting closure to his life. The car had not been driven since...until me.


The most interesting in one of my 914a was a guy's CA driver's license in a plastic bag hidden up under the dash wedged between the dash pad and frame. I googled the guy and he turned out to be a real 'peach'...not the kind of guy you want to know. Anyway, threw the DL away and never looked back.

I bought my 75 1.8 in Minnesota and drove it back to Cincinnati. For the first couple of hours, it smelled like chicken on a barbecue - not a bad smell if you are actually standing by your grill with a beer in your hand. However, when you are driving an old car that sat for a few years, you can only imagine what kinda critter is cooking somewhere just behind your back. I stopped at a gas station and looked all around the motor and what I could see underneath. I never found the varmit, but I did find that my air box was completely full of acorns. I can only assume that the original owner of the acorns was cremated on my 13 hour drive south.
