Just how dumb was I?

When I was in high school I had a 57 F-100 with a mustang 302 in it. I raced that truck all over northern Michigan. I gave it to a guy I knew up there when I moved because I could not afford to bring it with me. Supposedly it sat at his house for a long time outside. This was 20 years ago. a high school friend is now his neighbor so I asked if it was still around. Turns out the engine and trans were pulled and the truck was scrapped. Bugs me to this day.
