I found about $4 in my car when I tore it down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Thats one way I knew it came from the US, it was all in American coins. (and a Californian matchbook from a Disco in the 70's)

I found probably $1 worth of misc change in mine.. it was in amongst enough varmint droppings that it just went into the shop vac with the rest of the crap. Not worth $1... but I'd have gone digging (with gloves) for $400 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I guess I got you all topped! I purchased a real nice '74 2.0, bad paint but solid rust fairly rust free, great longs, five Fuchs, A/C with center console, Bilstein suspension pkg, front & rear sways, black with tan interior. Fair price not a steal, but worth what I paid.

As soon as I got the car, long before I ever started tearing the car apart, I tried to find the previous owners and got nothing but dead ends.

About six months later, I started taking it apart to start restoring it, and found a .75 carat marquis solitare engagement ring under the center console!!! Our local jeweler, without taking the diamond out of the mount roughly valued the stone at $1500!!!

So if any of you guys are getting engaged let me know, I'll give you a great deal on a ring. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I bought an 87 Saab Convertable a few years ago, and when I pulled the carpet to weld a few patces in the floor-board, I found $106 in change. It kept creeping and creeping into the center tunnel, until it was packed solid. I got under there with a cut-off disk to clear the rust away, and quarters started dumping onto my chest. Then we started digging, and ended up with a SACK of rusty-ass change.

I found a mouse skeleton in my 914...Guess I used up all my good luck on the Saab.

:DMy dad found a old rusty screwdriver in the center tunnel of a car he was parting out. It was a crafstman and because of the lifetime guarantee he took it in and got a new one. I would rather find $400 bucks or a diamond ring though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

All I found in my 914 was a bunch of business cards from a psychic. Dunno if the P.O. was the psychic, or just a nutjob who frequented psychics.

I wish I kept a card. Would have been fun to call up and ask the psychic if they knew why I was calling.

I found a big ass screw and a 6 mm socket in the fan (sounded like Hell when i ran it the first time until the socket launched into the engine bay and the screw jammed the fan stuck) I kept them though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I found a 911 front suspension, cookie cutter wheels, SC brake calipers (front) bilstein shocks, 911 sway bar, newly powder coated trailing arms with new bushings, vented rear rotors, with early 911 hubs and stub axles, 944 parking brake parts, all good rubber seals, decent seats, perfect dash, perfect late guages, complete chrome trim...
