Death of a /6

Years ago (I think it was 1971) we had a man come in with a 225 Dart .He complained the motor was missing. I remember looking under the hood and saw #5 rod hanging out the block. The boss gave a price on installing another motor. The owner said he had to wait a couple of paydays before he could repair it. One month later he came in for repairs.He was still driving the car daily but his wife complained of the car leaking oil on the driveway.
