All are very complete. First in the row is a REALLY NICE SX/4, the only think off it is I think the carburetor. Next door is a 4-door Hornet with a 232, a 2-door Hornet with a 304, then a Jeep Gladiator with a 327/AT. Pretty much nothing has been taken off of any of these cars. I'm going to pull some stuff off of the 327. Here's something weird about that yard: when I went to pay for a door handle I pulled, there was a sign up that said something like "As of January 1, 2006, we can no longer let customers purchase gas tanks or fuel pumps." Is this weird, or what? I know that it is illegal to sell a used cat converter off a car, but I'd never heard anything about fuel tanks and pumps. Maybe it's their own policy and not state law.

A total of 2054 ?71 AMXs were built. Of those, about a third got 401s?.maybe 750? Of those, less than a third got a 4-speed?maybe 250? Of those, maybe a quarter still exist?.65 or so? Comparatively, there are probably more ?69 Camaro SSs today than there were ?71 AMXs in 1971. Don?t know what constitutes rare on your end.

Hooked up with a whole bunch of Near impossible to find adapters! There are enough of the V-8 engined rigs around to find them with diligent searching, I have one here :] If it is a Six cylinder Rambler engine it is a very hard to find setup as the sales brochures all listed the six cylinder auto. but we don't have any hands on proof that any existed! By hands on I mean, someone who has one or has actually seen it! Much like the production sheet that is out for 64 Americans that shows some 500 2 door wagons being built in 64! We don't have any actual pictures or proof they actually existed. Now I'm not sure what the overhead cammed jeeps used for transmissions but those adapters would be different as would the adapters used to mate the 69-?? Buick engines to the same nailhead case. -- Mark Price markprice242ATadelphia.net Morgantown, WV ---- Justin Shelton <hydeparker@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Guys: > > I just posted about the Jeep Gladiator in a junk yard in SB. > > Does anyone know what AT was used in them?

I know they share some body parts, but i am not sure on this one. Also, I replaced the hinges on my Hornet wagon. Everything went well on the bottom hinge but the top hinge female plate, the one inside the A pillar frame with three threaded holes, snapped off thwo bolts. My donor car has a good plate and I took off the dash and expected to just snake out the plate. It seems to have had the car built around the plate. I can just see the designers drawing the plate then wondering how far to bury the thing. How do I get it out of there. I am thinking of cutting the kick panrl area, replacing the plate then welding it up later.......Russ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
