No one complained about the one here,the kids in that neighborhood got one hell of an education! I think the 3D DP was more than the veiwers could handle! LolYeah, we had one that showed X rated movies. People complained so they put up huge plastic curtains around the lot.
Didn't last too long.
It, too became a junk yard.

It was done for years till engines started showing up that had been wrote off the books. The next step was guards would go out with the load and watch them burying them. They still should up, so the blocks and heads were beat with a hammer till the blocks were broke and heads unusable. Back then no one needed the internals, they needed the whole thing. Today would be a different story. At the end of a production year, all the year before parts were not used on the coming up year. I could go on with stories that no one would ever believe and those that did would have tears in their eyes.You need a Radio Shack metal detector and a shovel! Now get to it boy!
Didn't any foundry melt down scrap engine parts back then?It was done for years till engines started showing up that had been wrote off the books.

There weren't hundreds, just a few dozen of each. They would receive what they thought they would need, off, due to production issues. Cheaper to throw out verses shipping costs. I know, some of it made no sense.Didn't any foundry melt down scrap engine parts back then?
The I-44 drive in located in Valley Park, MO.Around early 70's they closed down this drive in and turned it into a landfill. Inside this big mountain are hemi's, 440's, 383's, 340's and more car parts from the Chrysler plant than you could ever imagine!!

They weren't produced there. They ordered needed parts including engines. If they had leftovers due to production issues and line stoppages, most of the time if it wasn't a ton of them, they were trashed.Ulli, I think youre right on Peerless Park.
I don't remember which plant my brother worked in, but he started there around 69-70.
Never knew engines were produced there.
