Moderators Why did the comment about wife swapping get deleted but a racist comment about a young colored man does not get deleted.

Re: zl1 engine found
 

I don't think anything floats up out of that river.... It keeps it until you go get it. I wouldn't doubt something as strange as that engine being in an old truck though. I know where some plain jane F150's are with 429 CJ engines in them. I have seen warehouses full of BBC engines and 4 speeds stacked like cordwood in Georgia. A guy in Linden, TN crushed cars for weeks after the epa got on his nerves. Big blocks were scattered all over the Mountain where he lived. I saw a building in Georgia with 348's and 409's laying on top of each other. Old Man Holt in Fayetteville, TN won't tell me but I have heard from many people that he has a barn full of Hemi engines. He won't let you on his land if you are a "long hair". I have friends that have asked me to find parts on his place for him. He takes you out in his old jeep (with a chainsaw) and shows you what you are looking for. Rows of 57's, corvairs, Chryslers, Impalas and buildings with who knows what. The Chainsaw is to cut the trees out so you can get to the cars.... People are strange. There is a guy in Ft. Payne that spends his days at the entrance of his land to make sure you don't try to steal his stuff. Another 10 acres or so of cars.... Neat cars that he could retire on. Of course they are not for sale...

Re: zl1 engine found
 

He probably didn't mean anything by it. In some areas of the South Colored or black is still used. I don't know how old Joey is but an 80 yr old may still use a term that a 20 yr old wouldn't. It changes alot, I'm not white, I am caucasion.. What does the "C" in NAACP stand for anyway...... But like someone said, it really didn't contribute to the story much. Mr Holt not letting Schonye on his land would be something to see though... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: zl1 engine found
 

I understand, and just thought it was funny that jackal was asking why a racist comment about a "colored" person was not edited. Not sure what racist comment he was talking about (didn't see one, still don't). Never mind....

If this is what you are taling about, I dont see anything wrong with it. It could be as simple as the guy telling Joey that himself. Most Elderly black folks i have known will refer to themselves as such instead of black and if telling the story to Joey thats how he described himself theres nothing wrong with it being retold as such.

Re: zl1 engine found
 

As unlikely as it may seem, weird stuff happen.
Locally way up here in Canada, a guy passed away in Vancouver. He owned a chunk of land in a wooded area surrounded by the city, and lo and behold this guy had a couple of hemi cars, a 440 six pack car, crated hemi engines, 4 I think,chrysler shipping crates full of performance parts, including two full crates of 340 hi-po exhaust manifolds. I saw the pictures and met the lucky *&amp;$%$^ that bought the whole contents for a little over 60 g's. Everybody gets tired of the "old car turns out to be a corvette for 500 bucks deal", but this stuff ocasionally happens for real.

Re: zl1 engine found
 

Theres a pretty good chunk of land very close to me that has hundreds of old cars/parts scattered about ie.. 55-57 chevys, fords, mopars etc.. Its been an eyesore for many years as this guy will not clean it up, with that said the State has now stepped in and taken over, last i heard anything that comes out of there cannot be sold, its ashame but its all going to the crusher.

[/ QUOTE ] No ,i dont bother trying to buy them anymore. The last 3 ZL1s that were for sale on this site were 1] never for sale 2] priced wrong and then the price went up and 3] Non existant. Fishing expeditions arent my thing.Now i just email anyone with a ZL1 and tell them its worth 50K but that im not interested in buying ,kindof like everyone has done for years . That way they never get sold https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

LOL nice.

Joey, no offence. You should not post up whereabouts of "holy grail" parts such as Hemi and ZL1 engines without someone KNOWING the guy and trying to buy it. Never run your mouth on the internet....

Jeff,

I don't disagree. However, I've often heard blacks refer
to each other using the "N" work.. You try that and see

Re: zl1 engine found
 

Wow this big a debate over the word "colored man"? Is he not colored? Is he not a man? A lot of them refer to themselves as "the N word" im sure if that word is ok, colored man is ok as well.

Re: zl1 engine found
 

Well I spent half a day at mr Willies yesterday helping him around his home only to find out that he sold the motor thursday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gifHe would not tell me who he sold it too or for how much https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif, he wouldn't go to the shop or in his garage to show me anything, he was a total ass when I asked him for another tour! I bet he still has the motor because I have been told he dosent sell anything,I also found out the true story on the hemi car and the car full of parts,He worked for a steel scrap yard and once the city brought a hemi car in that they had pulled from the tennessee river and he took it home(stolen?Proubally why he wont sell)also when car parts came in he took what he wanted(stolen?)The true story came from a man that worked with him there back in the late 70s early 80's.

The origional tour was given because he needed someone to weld on his 1957 and he called me. I went over saturday uninvited and he was outside working so I helped him in hopes of getting to go backto the shop. I took my cell phone with a camera in it because I knew he would not knowingly let me take pics.He will need more help on his car one day or maby I should call the scrap yard monday and tell them where a lot of there scrap went and we can all watch as it gets destroyed maby that would satisfy you folks,but really I don't care .

Nice to know that you would take pics without asking. Better yet, take pics when knowing someone wouldn't want you to.

Re: zl1 engine found
 

Guys, I think i found the chariot used by Spartacus. I stopped at a tag sale locally after i noticed the glitter of all the solid gold artifacts the guy had from King Tuts tomb. I passed on the solid gold trojan horse used in the Trojan war in 1200BC because it had some damage when rocks were hurled at it 3200 years ago and figured no one would want it unless it was in perfect condition. I should have taken it for the 400.00 asking price though. Just didnt have a truck big enough to lift 6 tons of solid gold. Oh well, Ill get my lucky break some day.

I saw that chariot, it was a clone.

A title search found out it was actually a stolen recovery that was used by a guy named Judas Ben Hur, a man who set many street race records in his famous four horsepower wooden cart.

Many say he was a dirty racer and was actually called The Intimidator by his mostly mortally wounded competitors. He apparently plated the stolen golden cart with aluminum to avoid suspicion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
