Throwing away gems.

In the 1980s I used to hang around at a body shop in Southwest Virginia. One weekend we cleaned out the shop by throwing things in a 63 B-body convertible, digging a hole with a backhoe and burying the whole thing. Lots of cast iron exhaust and intake manifolds, carbs, heads and blocks. Once you had a nice motor built, who would ever put that crap back on it... (((sigh))).
