  If you're headed south, and want to see a REAL
sight, stop down in Pikeville, NC on Rt. 117, I
believe it is. It's about 4 hours south of Richmond,
VA, from my memory, about 220 miles. There's an old
AMC dealership with all the cars STILL there...I hear
it's open during the week, some guy still sells stuff,
occasionally. Quite a sight, it's overgrown with
weeds, but gotta have over 200 cars, not all AMC, but
a majority. IF you haven't seen it before, you SHOULD.

  You won't regret taking a detour for THIS sight, Jim
! Make sure you have a camera with good batteries,
'cause you'll go ape at the sight of this old
dealership still in existance, with all those poor AMC
cars going to waste. Sad, sad sight, but some nice
ones there, too. More behind the dealership outside,
down a side street...Gremlins, Nashs, etc. Have fun
and enjoy the trip!

Jerry Casper, in VA, want to go back to check it out
again someday....
