cars you junked but maybe should not have

A friend of mine worked at an impound lot and would tell me and my buddies about unclaimed cars that were to be sold on lien titles. In 1977 I picked up a pristine 1966 Charger with a 361 big block and fully optioned for my sister to drive. A year or so later she seized the engine because she didn't bother to check the oil or change it. Apparently it developed an oil leak and she didn't tell me about it. I didn't have the room to keep it so I junked it. About the same time, my dad bought a really nice 1968 v8 Dart 4 door through my lien connection. A year later, the timing chain failed and some of the valves ruined a couple of pistons. It, too, went to the junk yard because of a lack of room.
