Only one parted out but I regret it still. '63 Catalina/Ventura 2dr hardtop 421 376 hp w/4speed, 364 Dana posi rear. I bought it from a friend that got it with a broken 421. I got 2 421 blocks with it and a set of rubber rods. One was cracked in the rod cheek, hence why the engine had been torn down. It was originally raced but i never found out who owned/raced it. I eventually got a RAIII 48 headed 400 from a '69 Goat that I added a '65 tri-power to. I bought a house and had to part it out. The new house had been a rental and the garage was full of somebodies stuff. We could not find the owner and when we did we had to get a lawyer to get the stuff out. The owner claimed that he had signed a lease and it was the original renters responsibility to move it and store it for him. Lot of crap but I had nowhere to go with it so I had to scrap it out. I had it totally torn down for a partial restore at the time. Gone but not forgotten. Mark L
