What's the story on this?

I'll look it up for tomorrow I think I remember where from

I remember selling the Bill Blass Marks. VERY popular color combo. As I recall, they didn't come with those wide whites. Lincoln also had Givenchy and Pucci editions, and a Signature Series. All of them didn't sell as well as the Bill Blass.

Around San Pedro they do a lot of filming... we have a lot of cliffs that are ideal for the typical "car flying off a cliff" shot. In the last few years they have made the film companies get a helicopter to fly the wreckage... many years ago that was not the case.

Also about once a year or so some poor soul will decide to off themselves by driving off a cliff.

Thus you do see the occasionally car parts down at the sea shore. That may not be the case here but that sure is what it looks like.

Also possible it could be from a boat run ashore... the wood/fiberglass washes away pretty quickly. edit, looks like an exhaust manifold for a marine engine

Scott, I think the caption mentioned marine engine although I can't find the original link right now

Looks more like a BB MoPar engine to me.
Note the rocker arms, the distributor dog, the water pump housing, and the exhaust manifolds.

The aluminum and potmetal parts are eaten away (distributor, carburetor, water pump impeller, alternator) but the iron remains.

With your buses and the fact that longs like they are still pretty strong in the market, you would only have to let one go, unless it is because the size of the MB compared to a Micro Bus:D
