Ever found WIERD stuff in your Vette??
I think I've posted this question before...a long time ago, but I feel the urge to ask again. Has anyone out there found anything either wierd, cool, or noteable in their Vette?
When taking the carpet up in my '78, one of the rear compartment doors is covered in a section of the Detriot Funny pages...dated from October 1977. I can only think this must have been placed there from some autoworker as a "signature", or something like that.
I think it's cool
, but wondered if anyone else has ever encountered something like this??

I feel left out, of course when I bought my car It didn't have ANY interior in it so there wasn't much room for suprises. 
I'm gonna have to investigate the parts that I have bought to see if I have any of these treasures.

Would 637 Gecko eggs (both hatched and unhatched) constitute being "weird"?
Yes, I counted them. No
I may have missed a couple though. This total didn't count the 11 whole Geckos that I found. All frozen.
My car came from Miami to Indy in Feb of 2003. It was 80 when they left Miami, it was 21 when the car was delivered. I guess Geckos don't like cold.

Gecko eggs!!! LOL!!! Thats wild.Maybe trying to sell some auto ins? 
I did find an old small wooden box in the trunk of a 70 Z/28.inside the box was six bottles of liquid moriphine.You could tell that the box was made for the drugs.They were the kind of bottles that the dr uses to stick the needle in to get the stuff out of.I found out later that the car did indeed belong to a doctor.

What's up with the 77yr model?? (see above posts) Was it considered a trash collector back then??
My 77 had a petrified mouse in the door panel. He tried to dig his way out through the inner fiberboard near the door handle....but died trying.

I tore my Camaro apart and found bones from an order of chicken wings and bones from a slab of baby back ribs along with a TON of mouse turds. Musta been some funny joke played on me by one of my buddies back in the 80's. I imagine me just driving around while they stuffed their faces in the back seat and shoved the bones under there as they ate. Now I just gotta figure out which one of those sorry bastages it was.
