Well, maybe the Ambo was dead already -- wrecked or rusted beyond repair, or at least in a salvage yard due to be crushed. Looking at it that way, at least some part of it was saved! And who knows, maybe an Ambo owner with a bad engine will buy it... I agree with you on one respect -- I hate to see a perfectly good, easily restored or "fixed up" to nice driver status car sacrificed for parts. Occasionally it's unavoidable -- some parts just aren't available any other way, so you take from the "worst" car to make the "best" one better. When I wanted to rebuild my "hot rod" wagon, I passed on 3-4 wagons that were in fine shape. I refused to take a nice original or older restoration and hot rod it. I waited until I found a good solid car that needed a drivetrain, interior, and a little body work (mostly paint). Well, it needed door seals, suspension rebuild, etc., as well, but you get the point. ---------------- Date: Friday, January 26, 2007 08:20 AM From: Archimedes <Freedom@xxxxxxxx> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250077397805&ssPageNa me=ADME: B:SS:US:1 "Engine was an excellent runner I pulled from my Ambassador with approximately 110k original on it." AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!! Then why pull apart a perfectly good Ambassador? It's not like there aren't plenty of AMC motors floating around out there already. When are these guys going to start realizing they are scrapping AMC's entire history? _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
