RE: I found an abondoned warehouse FULL OF CLASSIC CARS!

Holy sh*t I'm so stoked! My two friends and i like to go explore creepy and decrepid places on the weekends sometimes, for fun. Anywho, there is a very large and very old mill complex that has been in Idaho since the early thirties. It is one of the first buildings built in Meridian, and has seen some stuff. Anyways, it was converted into a paintball arena about a decade ago, and the place finally went out of business. Which means the complex is up for lease again. Which means no more security problems.
My friends and I go their today at about noon and start doing our thang. Well, I'm walking around this complex and I see a window that has been recently boarded up and smashed out. We climb in, and then familiar scents hit my nostrils. Oil. Gas. Metal. Rust. Tire. CAR. I'm pretty anxious right about, and we start checking the place out. Well, I turn a corner and BAM! The warehouse is FULL of classics. And good ones too. Most notably a '63 T-Bird, '65 Mustang coupe, late fities Continental, about three early thirties Ford sedans, a very early seventies Honda(haha) and about fifteen+ other very classic cars. All of them are in good shape. Then on top of the car lot in there, there happen to be about thiry or forty engine blocks, 95% of which are small block Ford and Chevy V8s(non running of course, but the block is there, and thats all that matters). AND, there are two rooms full of random car parts like lights, hood ornaments, hub caps, wheels, engine parts, seats, everything; even an old pan head Harley! Most of it is in really good shape too. I hit pay dirt on this bitch. After some exploring, I found a sign that said "AA AUTO" with a number and address on it. The place ued to be an auto shop. I'm going to call the real estate company leasing the place out and ask for a tour with my dad and then act all surprised, haha. Find out who owns it now, try and buy the Mustang and as many old ass small blocks as I can buy or fit in the bed of my Econoline. I'm still excited about this, I'm hoping that there is a 289, 302, or 351 Cleveland sitting in there somewhere; and I hope 3K will buy the stang in there. I'm going back SOON, and this time I'm taking a camera with me so you guys can see.
soyeah, where do you live again?
(and i would advise you to make sure that this auto shop is no longer in existence, and the owner is gone.. thus, leaving the cars there. someone *could* own them. secondly, i'd try to sneak out parts worth anything, or move any vehicles worth anything, if possible.. like, making towing away a mustang or something. thirdly, uh, where do you live? where is this place? )

Its in Boise, Idahol; and although I know someone owns the place, I doubt they would miss a V8 or two......
I'm not carting off any cars though. Thats just too illegal.
well, i'd certainly go for some of the parts.. i mean.. they're right there..
hahah, ever hear 'one piece at a time' by johnny cash?
Quote:
Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.
One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.
CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.
So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.
The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.
Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."
So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.
CHORUS
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.
(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on
Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?
i would totally do that, man.

Parts and some engine blocks I don't mind and doubt they would miss, but a whole car is another thing, haha. I'm oging back soon with the dinosaur, maybe this week, most likely next weekend. Hoping to find a nice Ford small block, because I saw a good deal of blue valve covers that had the ever so awesome "Power By Ford" stamped in to them. Yummy.[8D]

what happened....
He's serving 5-10 for grand theft auto parts.
Haha, you know it! Actually, I just thought everyone had lost interest in it. Anyways, its a government owned piece of realestate right now, and the previous owner is looking to keep the cars. My father and I are keeping in touch with the leasing agent in hopes of maybe being allowed to buy some engines from the old owner, who is also the guy who used to own the paintball arena that was hooked onto the place. Sucks I couldn't buy that '65, but I'll have a classic one day.
