Re: My parts rig......Gone....

My dad had 5 or 6 engines and a bunch of old school parts taking up space at his shop. I don't remember what all he had, but I know there was a 396, a 409 and a small block 400. He was saving them for future rebuilds. (Can't have enough engines, right? LOL) Anyway, he needed room in his shop, and his friend said his dad had a barn they could store the engines in. So off they go to the friend's dad's barn. That was several years ago. So about two months ago, I called my dad and asked him if he would sell me the 396 or 409, and he said he would have given one of em to me if he still had them. Apparently the old guy needed money and wanted all the "scrap metal" hauled out of his barn. He got his other son to clear it all out. Well guess what.... not only did his "scrap metal" go, but so did all of my dad's engines. Supposedly the old man had forgotten the engines were there and didn't tell his son that they weren't his.
