So I found out a little more info on what happened to my #'s match 340. I shared a lengthy conversation and a couple beers with the previous owner Terry, who lived near Omemee Ontario, and still does. Apparently a friend of his at the time Kelly King, asked to take the car for a rip, and put it thru the gears pretty good from what Terry was telling me. Well when Terry went to leave Kelly's place the engine went kapput! After a "discussion" Kelly agreed to pull and repair the engine, so the car stayed at Kellys(he lived at Lakeview Estates, which is between Bobcaygeon and Omemee) while he was supposed to repair it. Of course it never happened, and Terry was in need of money, so the car went up for sale. I found it and at the time Terry said the engine was nowhere to be found, but he had the orig heads. Terry was told the x heads were more valuable then the block...DOH!! Well long story even longer the engine sat at Kellys house in the garage. Apparently Kelly and his wife or girlfriend had a parting of the ways and Kelly is apparently on hard times somewhere in Toronto. Terry and I drove by where Kelly and his better half used to live and it looks like a new house has been built there and it doesnt look like there is a garage there anymore!! I didnt go up to the door yet and talk to the current owner but will in the near future. I'll have to see what wreckers there are around there as well, cuz the engine might have landed there. Serves me right I guess for not trying harder to get the engine a long time ago!! Anyway Terry was glad to hear that the car is getting restored and wants to see it when its done.Terrys "friend" Kelly apparently had a I dont know if this will ring bells or bring back memories to any Canadian members here, but its worth a shot. Keep in mind this all took place around 1992. Reward offered if anyone can lead me to the engine. Vin# P9B352197
