[Amc-list] Here's a Tip

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chevy parts sell.

I periodically prowl the picknpull type junkyards here
on the central coast of CA, as some of you know. 
Mainly I'm looking for AMCs and parts.  But I have
also found that by getting familiar with other brands
and parts that are in demand, I can pull parts and
sell them for a profit to help fund my AMC hobby. 

Case in point.  A 2 1/2 ton 57 Chevy truck was in a
local yard.  It had a pristine grille, front bumper
and the radiator looked to have been recently recored.
 I pulled those parts and sold the grille and front
bumper to a guy in Los Angeles and am selling the hood
latch rail on Ebay as well as the radiator this week. 
1960 and 61 Chevy pickup hoods with the two "mounds"
are in demand.  You can easily sell good rust free
fenders from a step side pickup.  These are just
examples.  

It helps to look for the unusual too.  There was a
Renault LeCar in a local yard.  Believe it or not some
parts, like the windshields are in demand.  A Chevy
Vega or Chevy Monza (and RWD Olds/Buick clones) can
yield useful parts and there actually people out there
who are in to these cars.  Like many 70s AMCs, repro
parts are not available and NOS is expensive.  So if
you have the time, you should monitor some other brand
websites or check Ebay to see what's selling.
