Re: [AMC-list] One of the nicer Steve Green Collection cars

Joe, et.al:

Thanks. I already sent it to Randy, but he put another of my cars up 
recently so it's unlikely it will make BaT for a while.

The car has had a full tuneup, new hoses & clamps, a NOS AMC brake 
master cylinder and a battery along with a full fluid change. The 
tires are about 20 year old radials. Everything else is original to 
1971 including the finishes in the engine compartment.

If it sticks around long enough, I'll get it an AACA HPOF award or 
two come spring.
