this is not an add

I spent all day last Saturday helping my nephew unload a semi trailer full of speed parts. He bought out a speedshop/warehouse on the west coast when the owner passed away. He picked up close to $400K in brand new parts for an extremely low price. He flew out and packed up a semi and brought it back. I felt like a kid in a candy store. we worked for about 8 hours got it half unloaded and filled an empty 40x60 buildiing. He has spent all week building shelves and stacking so he could unload the rest. In just the stuff we unloaded I counted over 130 new carburators, 180 new intakes, more headers than I could count. He has tons of hard core race parts as well as the everyday dress up stuff. Over 200 Hurst shifters, literally hundreds of valve covers. There are some real vintage pieces. I found a new tunnel ram for a ford boss 429 hemi, as well as a new tripower for a 426 hemi, both with early 70s dates on the boxes. Carrillo, Brooks, Eagle, Crower, Enderle, rods, cranks, pistons, injection, blowers, you name it he got it. My shirt was wet with drule. I am going back out to help finish unloading tommorrow and will get some pictures.

I dont think I could have even dreamt that good of a score

It is such a mess, he now has rented two 40 x 60 buildings in a small commercial area and you can hardly walk thru them.

Heis going to start selling to recoup his investment but not until he get itset up so it will be several weeks.

lets see some pics of the candy store.

I wonder if there is a drag strip in Heaven. I hope so. Kurt
