My office looks less like an office with an engine block on the floor

Shelby paraphernalia lying around my home office space. More like a mini Shelby shrine interspersed with annoying legal papers, codes and statutes. Prior owner tatooed the Shelby vin on the block in case it grew legs and ran away. I pulled the block out of the closet for a wellness check. Original license plate against the wall provided by the good grace of the prior owner of 6s843. Damn I love that car!!! I need to tidy up.

Best,

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Looks like a perfectly appropriate car guy's office to me.

Plus, if you pick up the engine block a few times a day, you won't need to go to the gym.

Certainly a much safer storage area than the garage or shed (my feelings but wife doesn't buy it!).

Somebody had stamped it before you got it from me. It had been rebuilt but not bored when I got the car.

PS - I know the Ford number stamped on it too.  ;D
