  Yes, it is! I've been going to Leon's since the '80s
when I was trolling for '57 Chevy parts, he has a wide
selection of old cars dating back to the '40s and up
thru the 80's, some '90s stuff, but not much. He's got
hundreds of AMCs, from Pacers to Rebels to Hornets to
Gremlins. Many have been picked over or are badly
rusted, or are hard to access, others barely touched.
He's got some rare ones, like a Rebel Machine ( very
bad condition, I was told, never found it ), the
Briarcliff wagon, an '80 or '81  Spirit Sedan (
Gremlin clone ), and others, including a few mid-'60's
convertibles, mostly trashed and rusted out. He's well
worth a visit. I haven't been in a few years, as I
haven't needed any parts desperately enough to go.
He's located on Rt. 29 about 7 miles south of Culpeper
town. Only open 1/2 days on Saturday, not on Sunday (
from my recollection ). 
  I believe I even helped take a few parts off that
Briarcliff years ago, apparently the interior door
handles are special to wagons, and the rear ones to a
Briarcliff, or just to a wagon? Not sure, but I
remember getting at least one interior door handle off
that wagon for someone who needed it. 
  I believe the phone number is ( 540 ) 547-2366 . YOu
can also go to my website at
WWW.geocities.com/caspercars, and it should be at the
bottom of the web page, under a plug for Leon's
junkyard. 
  Just thought I'd chime in, as Leon has delighted in
the AMC crowd coming to visit and of course, spend
money. Just mention Jerry if you go up there. :D 
Later,

Jerry
