>>Where would the AMC historical database be? Fact is that it's not here: http://www.projekt-lichtblick.de/html/nacht_der_langen_museen_0.html even if those blue men are http://tinyurl.com/elnru and Daimler-Benz books are http://tinyurl.com/kcjyv for, sadly, it's not here http://tinyurl.com/mvjvc a fact made crystal clear http://home.earthlink.net/~richhutch/OurFifthAvenuefiles/pentastar.jpg http://www.chryslerheritage.com/pg904.htm because the AMC historical database is here. YOU are! It's now in the hands of AMC fans. >> http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjustsaymofo and http://prototypeclassicconvertible.blogspot.com << It's almost $15k. Have you bid yet? One in a million. And jokes on AMC. http://faculty.concord.edu/chrisz/hobby/67-Amb-items/65-990conv2pg.jpg http://www.amcrc.com/junk/junk20.html http://www.ioffer.com/img/1074499200/_i/2304069/1.jpg >> The oddity here is the extended wheelbase. 63 and 64 Ambassadors shared the Classic wheelbase, they weren't longer until 65. It's quite possible that the car wasn't titled for a year after construction considering it's a prototype. I believe it to be authentic, unless someone changed the serial number plate. << The oddity here is that AMC still suffers such stuff. How strange, if not stupid, is it that any -serious- AMC seller would suggest only one bucket-seated 1965 990 convertible was produced? How unlikely, if not improbable, is it that any -square- 1965 body would have been produced on a line that was assembling "round" 1964 cars on August 1, 1963; let alone with longer wheelbase? If the jigs wouldn't fit, the jig is up. If an August '63 "panel prototype", it would have been hand-built (and not on a production line); if an "interior mule" for a five-place car, it would have been hand-built more than a year before that; if it smells like fish and it's not a Tarpon or a Marlin, it could be a fish story. Ain't nothing wrong with the cars. If they's what you want, go ahead. Just don't let AMC look like bait. Today, -you- are the AMC database. _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
