[AMC-List] 65 Wagoneer for sale - no motor, no title

[msproviero@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I am fearful of listing this on any of the local boards I belong to, lest I be struck down by the AMC Gods.  I bought it primarily for the 327, as I was expecting the body to be a pile.  Unfortunately, it has not yet achieved "pile" status.  In fact, its pretty much all there except for the starter that needs to be rebuilt or a replacement located.  The motor has not yet been disturbed.  I posted a pic or two of it some time ago, but those were from the seller's listing - I'll take some more.

I think it would be best to see it go to someone here (or IFSJA) or at least someone that would have an interest in it other than hacking it up - ideally someone that already has a 327 and nothing to put it in.  I would prefer not to let it sit and rot beside my barn, as I have no covered parking.  Dana 27 front/53 rear, with a 3 on the tree and a Dana 20 transfer case.  $500?  

I initially bought it due to an interest in the motor itself, but upon researching it further it would seem incompatible and impractical for my uses.  I don't have the old-school knowledge required to make the best of it.  Timing is really the problem - I can't give it any right now with all the other vehicles I have. :(  Its really best left together, which I am also considering.  Don't worry - I'm not the scrapping type.  It will not go to the crusher.

Located northwest of Detroit - look for the intersection of I-96 and US-23 on the map.  No title, but no concerns of it being stolen.  I would consider trades for a 70-up powerplant (like a 401), an aftermarket AMC FI system, some heads, aftermarket 4.0 stroker crank, or something else useful to a Jeeper.  I own a Dauntless 66 CJ5, an 84 CJ8, an 85 CJ7, and a 98 XJ.

I'm not dead-set on unloading it, so any old-school Detroit area resources for knowledge on the drivetrain (specifically the motor) would be appreciated.  I already have a shop that will handle the starter.
