Re: [AMC-list] SC/360 (parts) or clone? you decide.



I sure do, x code. 343. It has aftermarket covers so I can't tell if it's the original engine but the patina underneath looks like it is. It is a drag car and looks like it has been for a very, very long time. It has those old towbar straps , circa 1970, in front that appear to have been on there almost as long as the car has been built. The parts car has all of the stuff for the inside. Sheet metal door panels. No back seat. Front seats out of some other make...that sort of stuff. No PS. Manual disc brakes. I don't think it has any options at all. Sort of like it was ordered special that way. In fact a guy in AZ told me that the car appeared to be a special order car according to the VIN's from his two 343 cars and their location on the assembly line. One a Rogue and the other a 440 post. Car needs a complete resto but the vin plate and title afffirm it is what it is. Back when I first bought it, I had big hopes. Looked around and got a good deal on an NOS STR11 intake...picked up a few parts here and there but never really got down to the brass tacks part of it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>

He should have ebayed that car. I'll have to get that list back out and
refresh my memory but I'm pretty sure that is the one I called about. There
was another one on that list for $4500 wasn't there? If I had known he would
have sold it that cheap, I'd have been all over it. That red one you
forwarded a few weeks ago brought $6,900, reserve not met, and it was as
ragged out as mine was and still is. I have one of the 2V SC360's. Mine was
a 3 spd on the floor originally too but it has a 4 spd now. I bought an
original go pack hood with the scoop and an NOS tach several years ago for
mine to make it look like the go pack. Mine is the organic green.

Ona different note, it's hard to understand a lot of the reasoning on cars.
The Matador machine everyone was talking about was just an option for a
regular matador wasn't it? What I mean is that it wasn't a specific model
like a Scrambler or the '70 Machine. How it is equipped shows up in the VIN.

If that is the case, I have one of the rarest AMC's ever built. A 343 67
Rogue. How many originals exist of that? 4? 5? Yet I can't sell it and a
parts car for $2500. I guess it's all in how slick of a salesman you are.

On the car Mark mentioned below, it does mention it is a recreation, too
bad no pix to help someone decide whether they want to tackle it. For what
it is worth however, the REAL Golden Lime Metallic 71 SC/360 Hornet that
was for sale in Montana (and number is still on the defunct SUADS) but
that was a real one for $2500.00; it was a non Go Pack car but rare one of
19 made 360/2barrel, standard 3 speed on floor......

and one of only 5 known to exist. It was complete, ran, drove, stopped,
just good little project for someone, and guy even tried to sell it to me
knowing soft spot for Hornets, but passed. He eventually sold it a few
weeks ago for whopping $1400.00.

Imagine that. One of 784 total production, and of those, this was lowest
production with only 19 made and FIVE known to exist. $1400.00. I've
dropped that in 5 minutes in strip club. Anyways, hope it found a good
home, it was the real deal not a recreation, clone, or what have you. I
think what scared people off from that car is it was GoldenSlime Metallic,
damn, AMC seems to have painted 90% of production in 1970 that color, then
carried it over into 1971, they must have had barrels of that paint
stashed behind Freddy's East or something. Not taking away anything from
the folks who like to recreate stuff, as we need more of them in hobby
saving what remainder cars are out there in 2010!
