No treasures, unless you count how poorly he maintained/treated the car.

I didn't find anything special on my 350 but it came with a full s-tune exhaust. On my 300 although I knew I had a full stillen exhaust, but then I found out I had stillen headers, jwt pc and jwt clutch and flywheel.

I found a small bottle of crazy glue which I think explains the white stain on the passenger seat that looks like its holding a rip in place *least that's what I hope the white stain is, upholstery cleaner wouldn't get it off*
I also found a Movie ticket for "Inception" lol I got the car this December.
Last but not least I found like 3$ in change in the "business card holder" lol

I found out I had a set of OBX alluminum pulleys months after I purchased my car. I also found out I had no bolts holding my left front brake caliper in place and it ended up scraping against the inside of my rim.

I found a bunch of weed crumbs, a bottle of Versace cologne, another bottle of Gucci cologne, and a lot of change. I wouldn't count car parts on the car as "treasures you found after purchase".

i found out that my stock sounding exhaust was infact a Magniflow... I decided to look up some videos, and none of them sound like mine does Lol.

after i got the car home i noticed that i had a 275/30/19 on 1 rear, and a 275/35/19 on the other... i called the dealer right away and they ordered me a new 35 series tire, hopefully it hasnt been like that for too long lol.

Then i found that the guy before me had a system of some kind in the trunk, with wires just hanging out back there were the spare should be. Then i noticed that theres a bunch of dynamat back there too...

ugh. at least its a really really well maintained 1 owner car.

Nothing of much value... just the original window sticker ($33,850!), the warranty and care instructions for the clear bra and a sweat looking aluminum "Z" license plate frame which I quickly mounted. Also there was some extra clips in the spare tire area, I think they might be for the front license plate. The previous owner kept the car in great condition, it had really low mileage and was clearly a garage queen.

Who ever gets the car after me is in for a treat: full sound system wiring (including bi-amp speaker wire to the doors) plus a layer of dynamat in the back.

I found a K40 stealth radar detector. It works (LEDs stealthed on the wheel, and control **** above the TCS switch). I wish it had the radar jammer attachment though.

Found several tools in my z, but mostly just found that it was treated like crap before me. bolts weren't even threaded into the calipers, intake was being held on by one bolt that was hand tight, everything holding the upper plenum on was hand tight, clip for the hazard lights was undone, radiator support was broken, no TPMS in any of the wheels, passenger cupholder was broken. oh, and a bunch of glass on the drivers side under the seat... and only the passenger side window was tinted.

The mustang I bought use to be a drugs dealers car and the car got seized, before i bought it. I was taking out the glove box to relocate the air conditioning controls and found a 1,000 dollars shoved in the back of the dash. The z haven't found anything exciting.

so after changing out my clutch myself i have found that the clutch i burnt up drifting was a exedy oem replacement and that someone else did the clutch themselves not a shop and didnt know what the word "torque specs" meant. some bolts were unreasonably while others a lot easier. really weird. Oh and i found an AEM hose clamp on the intake so it used to have an intake. lol
