[AMC-List] ebay car warning

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WARNING!!!Hey Eddie, Pass this on. There is a 73 401 AMX on ebay that was 
under auction number 330050584476 and is now under auction number 
330050724895. The seller of this car is not being honest in his listing or 
his answers to questions that have been posted. The seller was made ""VERY"" 
aware of what this car is with no response or change to his listing. This 
car was located in the Wisconsin area and was viewed by me and the late 
Steve Schall as a possible car to buy. Since this seller has not (and most 
likely will not) post the issues with this car to his add. I will do it for 
him here. Here is a list of what we found with this car up on viewing it. 
Engine IS a 360 not 401, current engine (360)is blown. Floors,trunk, 
rockers, outer and inner wheel housing, trunk drops, quarters are rotted. 
Top of fenders are on the way out. Troughs are wasted. Sub-frame has rust 
issues where floor pans are attached, etc.... rotted, both door glass & 
quarter glass broken out. No door tag. Lower door panels have speaker holes 
cut into them (you get the idea). Hopefully no one has purchased this car by 
the time this gets out. And if it has been sold by the time this is put on 
here, Pass the info on and hopefully the buyer sees this. If you are looking 
to purchase this car... I would be VERY CAREFUL!!! ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS 
and by all means GET PICTURES (if seller is willing to do so...) of all the 
above. IF there are any of you AMC guys in IL that can get to this car and 
view it (seller has posted a ph# and already gave a guy in Aurora IL a go to 
have a look) see if you can get some pictures of the above. Bottom line is 
this. IF you feel that a Title, vin tag and 401 fender emblem (and some 
other parts)are worth the asking price... go ahead and buy it. If you are 
looking to buy this car for a resto project... Look at the list above and 
then take a look at the restoration link here on Eddie's page to get a good 
idea of what you will be facing. Cheers and good luck to all. Bob in Madison 
WI
===========================================
There is/was considerable chatter about this car on several AMC sites, the 
car has been relisted now for something like 3rd, possibly 4th time. Check 
the feedbacks on this seller and good luck!
