A Pretty Good Day in the Yards

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning I finally picked up the 196 cast iron
engine and OD tranny from the junkyard.  The 64
Classic which had been it's home for 41 years was
crushed yesterday.  

I also got a 62 AMBO tinted windshield from another
local junkyard.  This AMBO was a pretty nice car when
it went into the junkyard about two years ago. I tried
halfheartedly to buy it but could not ever really
connect directly with the owner, just with the
counterman in the yard.  It's white over rose and was
sold new, according to the original manual which was
in the car, in Gilroy, CA.  I didn't even know Gilroy
had a Rambler dealership at one time. It has been a
local car ever since.  All of the AC stuff is still on
the car.  The yard will pull parts, but they will not
ship.  The 327/auto engine and tranny are still there.
 I got the front bumper and the reclining split bench
front seats for my 62 Classic wagon.  The junkyard is
Salinas Auto Wreckers.  There's an office in Salinas
and another number for the junkyard itself.

Now I have most of the stuff necessary to put the 62
Classic wagon into running condition.
