Frank, Thanks for the kind words. I take the jabs with the grain of salt, or sugar, or sweet n low. I do enjoy working on these old cars and Gremlin's have been my passion for the past 22 years. I have owned 26. I had a 16 year lul when I had no place to put one or work on one. This is my first adventure into a Rambler. Who know's mabe the wife will like riding in it? She actually hated all amc's till she was a Marlin at the Sturbridge show last year. I am fishing for a 67 cause I have a nice 343 sittin here. If the right deal comes along I will build her one. but the 67 is cool and I have a friend that has a 66 Nova SS with a 383. It would be cool to build a cooler 67 American and smoke him!

Sure, those things are tough on an AMC, but it sometimes happens! Davis seems to know he might not make a lot and is watching his costs. In today's market making money on a much sought after muscle car is even tough, but the lower price cars might do better. In any case, it's been pointed out (and acknowledged by Davis) that he might not make much or any over what he has in it. We all know this, so let's not continue to discourage him from his project! If he makes money that's great, if not that's a risk he seems to be willing to take. Plus it sounds like he'll get $$$ of fun out of just the building and playing with it for a while until it does sell... or he decides to keep his new fun toy! ---------------- Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:56:50 -0800 (PST) From: Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx> Didn't he say it was a Hornet? There's no way to make money on a Hornet, except perhaps an SC/360. Just being realistic. -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AMC.html (free download available!) _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
