thank everyone this is the best forum on the net its nice seeing and talking to so many AMC owners and thanks for the eggs and will update everything that happens and gets done to the car and reasoning for crushing it he said needs a engine or some engine work didnt have the time and didnt care about the car i also found this under the seat stack full of receipts and amc owners manual im in shock finding that stuff

[dbb_08]

WOW! That interior alone was worth saving! Well done!

yeah the interior is pretty nice looking i would of took this car in pieces and without the interior lol

Way to go Dbb, looks like you saved a real nice one there, an engine's no big deal.

Did you find any reason it was going there?

That's the most worrisome thing - a lot of times there is NO reason for these cars to go to scrap, other than the fact that the owner bought a new car and just threw the old one away like a toaster or hair dryer.

Just because they're old and don't have all of the whizbang features of today's plastic technobuggies, doesn't mean they're worthless.
