Customer purchased car knowing that it wasn’t running but was told it just needed a couple things. I guess a new engine was one of those “things”.

Picked up a 73 2.0 a few years ago in Michigan.. Guy said he was driving and heard a small pop sound and the car quit. He towed it home and let it sit outside for 4 yrs. Said he wasn't able to figure out why it quit running. I popped the engine lid and found this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Small 'pop'....

Must have had a good stereo and had it blasting to miss the horrid rattling before that let go.
