Wierdest thing
Hello,
Thought I would share something . I have had my 85 for about 9yrs I guess. During this time I have had various mechanics work on the car(painting , audio, ect...). I really don't know who owned it before me or how many people.And I have spent time as well doing my vacuuming of the interior. Well the other day my son and I took the seats out for the first time(never knew how) and he says "check this out dad, a bullet". Lo and behold there is a 357 magnum round sitting under the driver seat. We look at each other for a minute sorta shocked, then he says" Hmmm a red Corvette for a getaway car?" I fell out laughing.

The exact same thing happened to me, I found a golf tee and a bullet under the driver seat.The 2 previous owners were from California & Texas.
I know nothing about guns never had one, never want one, but I kept this bullet as a souveneer.
It says 9MM Lugar on its bottom.

Sounds like the beginning of an interesting thread--what other weird things have been found in your car? For me, I discovered some kind of red goo in the rear storage bin. To this day, I have no idea what it was (I could not identify the taste 
).
).

I didn't even get a thank you or reward.
Carry on.

5 dollar bill under the drivers floor mat. And for the non shooting posters you found cartridges, a "bullet" is the projectile that actually leaves the gun barrel (the "nose cone" of the cartridges you found.)

I've found nothing special in my vette as of yet. There is a warranty card in one of the storage bins with the original owner's info and date of purchase. And yeah I heard about the taco bell food

Found a bottle opener in the radiator opening, also found the original license plate from 1985 under the rear carpet.
In my Ford LTD, I found my grandpa's drivers license and a handicap parking hanger. That came in handy.

When I redid my seats, found a 3 yr old parking violation ticket from the previous owner, some change, and a few petrified French Fries of the McD variety.
