I think I'm going to take a closer look at some of the nooks and crannies and see what else I find.

I have only had the car for a year and have never indulged in the use of it but thought it certainly was "period correct" for a 68 Corvette. I assume the previous owner may have tucked in in there years ago and forgot it. I threw it out the door and had a chuckle. The interior is original and unrestored. Didn't excpect that
What factory documentation do you have to prove that's an original 1968 JOINT ?

Go back and get it. Think about it, an original #'s matching car with a joint from the original owner is worth much more than a car without an one!

When I got my 72 Cougar XR7, I took it to a friend's shop and stripped the old carpet. We found a small plastic bag with cocaine and 3 bullet holes on the passenger side door when we took off the door panel.

Why is that? I would think that the white powder would be worth more than the rolled green stuff!

Paul,
That's hilarious considering your former occupation.
Imagine the conversation if one of your colleagues stopped you for a minor traffic infraction and that joint just happened to fall out at that time on the floor in plain view.
But officer,,,,,,,,,,,

Default Wopuld make a good Soprano's episode

I had my car in a parade recently a while back and was "lucky" enough to have to tote around a city councilman or some such to wave at the crowd. When he got in he kicked his foot around under the dash and bent the clip that holds the turn signal flasher. After, I tried to bend it back but it snapped.

I went to a U-Pull It parts lot looking for a early 70's GM car to swipe a clip from. I found a 71 Caddy and while looking under the dash I found a BIG BIG bag of pot. It looked pretty dried out and may have been there a long while. I looked around and stuffed it back under the dash. I mentioned it to the guy up front while checking out. He didn't seem interested, he laughed but didn't even ask what car it was in. A few months ago I went back and the car was gone.

Yeah Kurt, I thought it would be pretty embarrassing for me to get caught with that thing. I chucked it out when no one was looking

Default Vader vette

Well while were telling on ourselves when I raced my vette at mid Ohio Race course I told myself that I would race the car without . So needless to say by Sunday I was Jonesen I stopped at the first big parking lot went clear to the back and started to roll one ,so I catch something out of the corner of my eye and Its A guy with afunny looking white and black coller you guessed . It I had pulled into A church lot well he disrupted what i was doing and we talked about what I was doing I made up some changing clothes or something like that then I left well I stopped down the road to look for the(spliff) And It was GONE And i mean GONE so I rolled another one .Now for the rest story a week later my buddy and I were sitting around A camp fire wishing we had a fat one when I remembered the lost one in the Vette.Off we go pull the seat out of the car nothing took the seat belt cover off there it was . Went back over to the fire lit it up, At that time My girlfriend looks at the vette seat on the ground door still hanging open and just shakes her head .
