Trip To A&A Transmission.. WOW!

I have a neat little story concerning A&A if anyone is interested. Quite a few years ago I went to a guys Demo Derby auction. He was getting a divorce and needed to liquidate all of his stuff. This was back when the Derby guys were still using big Chryslers. It was mostly Mopar stuff. There was probably 20-30 Torqueflights standing on end. I had a bunch of part numbers that I would buy if they came up. There were 2 or 3 in the bunch. The auctioneer got to the trans and one guy bought the whole works. I followed him to his truck a little later and asked him if he would sell a couple of them. He drove a nice newer big Dodge with a really nice big trailer. I asked him about the purchase of all of the Torqueflights. He asked me if I had ever heard of A&A. I said yes I have. He said I go all over the country buying cores for A&A Transmission. He paid for them with a big wad of cash, I asked him if he was worried about carrying that much cash, he opened his coat for his concealed carry. I told him that he had a pretty cool job. He laughed.
