Re: [Amc-list] 75 Cassini Matador for sale in Colorado...

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Keep in mind, 
Is it better to let the car turn to dust in the hopes you will get to it?
Or part it out?
I have tried numerous times to find my convertible a good home.
No one has even offered to come look at it once they hear of it's condition.
So, it sits, yes it is indeed making an attempt to turn to dust.
But there is little to be lost by my holding out hope I will soon be able to get to it.

if no one buys the coupe do your best to preserve it and get to it when you can.
I'm probably at least 6 months from being able to touch mine, that is if a miracle happens.
