So, the VL has been sitting at the side of the house for 3 weeks now. started first kick last week
moved it today... started it, moved it to the front lawn, and let it idle for 10 mins.
shut it down so i could move the other car, and went back to start the VL...
NO SPARK
can a CAS really die that quickly?

i think so, they can go gradually or all of a sudden

Try pushing the wires into the plug on the distributor or take the plug off and see if there is any corrosion inside it.
In my experience as a mechanic I have come across this numerous times.
And yes they can just suddenly stop or die slowly.
Cheers,
Glenn

Can wiggle the cas plug on mine and it will cut out.
Get her in the sweet spot and she'll run all day....
