My first 914 had lots of change. In the trunk it had a set of used calipers, lots of nuts and washers, and guess what...the infamous bag of condoms.

John found his disconnected, uninstalled speedometer.

I found the Hayne's Manual and the registration. Both were very clean from the getgo inside (and mine is clean on the outside, too...pretty little car).

Nothing unusual in mine....unless "nothing" is unusual.

Found the ever popular change (about 78 cents worth- told the wife when I first bought it: "See, it's a great investment- it's paying for itself already!!" That was of course before I had to go out and spend $450 on a welder to fix the rust issues that I found later...)

-one rusted wrench under the gas tank
-paperwork for all of the previous work done to the car including oil changes from day 1 and the eventual engine rebuild. NO details though- just the receipt and the words 'rebuilt engine'. I do know they went to hydraulic lifters, but that's about it.

Lots of friendship.

When I bought my green one back in the mid 90's
I had to swap the seats as he had each on the wrong side,
What I found was a few small tools, a cassete tape of the
greatest hits of Paul Revere and the Raiders, and
Most importantly
Medical records that the po was an inmate in the nut house.
Proof that all 914 owners are crazy.

When I got mine, I found about 8 cents in change (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , a club w/key, a briefcase with receipts dating all the way back to the original purchase and a hole under the passenger seat...

$1.23, gallon ziplock bag full of coke, dead hooker in the trunk, a .45 with ketchup on it and a bag full of clothes also covered in ketchup. Oh and the weird part was the mouse nest in the glovebox and the hellhole full of acorns.

When I took my 914 apart to restore I found in a NOS front PORSCHE hood emblem someone at the factory stuffed into a crevice of the car. It was among lots of dirt, dust & dead criters.

I found a big fat brass money clip with St. Jude superimposed over a giant dollar sign... must have been a hardcore gambler who last owned my car..

My last parts car had a set of brass knuckles in the driver's pocket along with a small tool that looked like an ice pick with a looped handle connected??

The front trunk had a HUGE rat nest by the brake resevoir...a rat had come up from the bottom of the car and entered the trunk through air vent hose. Over a period of time it managed to take wads of the engine pad and transport it to the front trunk.

My car sat for about 3 years before I bought it in MN and drove it home to OH. Found the usual change, fuses, golf pencil, tees and about a winters worth of acorns inside the airbox of my 1.8. I believe that the owner of the acorns had made his final resting place on top of my heat exchanger, cause it smelled like fried chicken for the first 200 miles of my drive home.

There was a slide rule in the glove box. A Pickett 6", in leather case. I left it there, just in case. (I bought my 914 in 1983)

Brand new set of cocoa mats, extra set of keys, owners manual, coupon for free touch up paint, ...... oh, forgot - it was new. Sorry guys, it's the only 914 I've owned.

Now, if you want to discuss what I've found in the "other" Porsches when I bought them......

Actually the only thing of interest was my used '76 924 - it had 41 Trojans in the right rear corner pocket - guess that's why the 924 was such a chick magnet.
