The guy that dropped it off could have died and no one knew that he took the engine to a machine shop. I had a friend of mine that was restoring a 62 vette. When he took some parts to the chrome shop he inquired about a few parts that he was missing. The guy at the chrome shop had the parts he was looking for. The same senero, the parts were dropped off a few years prior and the customer never came back to pick them up. The shop owner told my friend of a guy thay had a 67 vette with over a $100 grand invested in it. He died and the wife sold it for 25 grand! Like they say, being at the right time and the right place.
