Re: Vintage muscle car reunited with original motor
Awesome story, Darrell! Hey, if it took 30 years to reunite the motor and the car, we can wait a while for the details. All the best to you and your brother for a full and speedy recovery

Re: Vintage muscle car reunited with original motor
It's the people and the stories behind these cars that make this hobby so much fun. Congratulations on the "Reunion" and the new friendship, and more importantly, GOOD LUCK to both of you. Keep us posted on the health progress of both you and your brother and get us the details whenever it's convenient. We understand priorities!

Re: Vintage muscle car reunited with original motor
That is the second car this year that has been reunited with its original motor... Last Winter I helped locate Jim Shockley's original motor to his 69 Yenko Camaro after 30 some years MIA.... We heard of one for sale in the area and him and I went there and picked it up.... It took two days to read his VIN on the block due to rust all around the oil filter pad... After Jim cleaned the area the VIN appeared very faintly but it was there.... The car will be at the reunion this weekend but I still think the original motor is on a stand next to the car to be transplanted this Winter... Cool stuff when car guys can help out other car guys... Its like an extended family...

Re: Vintage muscle car reunited with original motor
speaking of finding original motors,there was a W31 on ebay a few weeks ago,and the original motor to it is sitting in a garage in Oregon,i believe.
seller of the w31 knew this,but still wouldnt buy the motor.. what a dummy

Re: Vintage muscle car reunited with original motor
These 'real' original engines finding their way back between the rails that once held them sounds like a long-lost love story....almost makes a car guy a bit weepy? .
