Most likely the problem is on our side. I think some joker signed up
support@xxxxxxxx on the list. Every time someone posts to the list we get an
error message saying this account is no longer in use.

Someone is sending messages to e-bay every time they send to the AMC-List. I suspect it's not on purpose. Something in your e-mail is messed up or you have a virus that's doing this. I suggest everyone scan their computers for virii and ad-ware (go to http://www.download-it-free.com/adaware2/ and download Ad-Aware if you don't have anything). I'm doing the same on my computer. It's possible someone signed onto e-bay and used the mail list address as a prank, but I don't think so.
I did find a couple e-bay.com addresses in the list database, but they had been there for quite some time and couldn't have caused this. I'll wait a couple days and if the messages continue will attempt to contact e-bay and have the list removed from their service e-mail. Contacting anyone at e-bay is near impossible though -- everything is handled by bots it seems!

Subject: The Jig Is Up
Message-ID: <17171-4401D2EA-697@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I am finally starting on my grill and headlight door resto. The plastic
parts are fine it's just the painted silver detailing is worn off. I
made a jig to hold the headlight doors after I sand them clean to hold
them so I can paint them out of some 1"X1" scrap wood. The first one
should get painted black this afternoon and go into the dehydrator to
bake for 2-3 days before I mask it up to paint the silver and clear coat
it. It should take me about a week to finish the headlight doors with
all the paint drying time. The grill is going to be a problem with all
the sanding and masking and the paint will have to air dry between coats
since I have no way of force drying it.

Subject: Potomac Ramblers members - ALERT ! '62 Rambler loss of habitat imminent
To: AMC <amc-delmarva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, AMC-List <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>,
I have been involved in a few personal emergencies
these past 2 months, such as loss of job, losing my
farm storage space of my AMC fleet, and finally my
parents Alzheimer's is forcing my sister and I to
place them in a facility soon. I've been rather busy,
so haven't alerted anyone to this impending AMC
calamity.
Anyway, I regret to inform the Potomac Ramblers
Club that the '62 Rambler club car that is currently
resting ( and rusting ) at my aunt's farm near
Burkeville, VA is in imminent danger of being lost and
removed due to the need of my aunt to sell her
property, and that no deal apparently can take place
as any purchasers want all the "junk" cars removed
first, meaning mine, Ben's, and this '62 Rambler. I
wasn't sure of the time limits required to remove them
all, but apparently it's been speeded up considerably.
So, I figure that the time left is numbered in days or
weeks, rather than months. If there is ANY interest in
this car, it better come forward FAST, as otherwise it
may go to a local junkyard. I can't speak for Ben or
his fleet there, but I have made progress on my fleet,
7 of 10 cars of my fleet are safely ensconced at the
Gremlin Garage II now, with 3 left to move, hopefully
by the end of this coming week. Being unemployed DOES
have certain advantages, time off being the most
critical. If I was employed, I doubt I'd be making
this much progress so quickly. As it happens, I spent
all day this past Friday just airing up 7 cars's worth
of tires, actually more as I did one of Bens to move
them, running back and forth with my little air tank
to the ( luckily ) working air compressor up by the
farmhouse. I also had to mount some tires on one car.
So far, only a few wouldn't hold air, or would leak
slowly, enough for me to air them up, get it on the
rollback, and to the new place before it all leaked
out again.
So, bottom line to the Potomac Ramblers club is, the
'62 Rambler needs a new home, and FAST. Don't know if
Ben has alerted anyone to this need before, I haven't
kept pace with this Email list ( or any ) lately. But
the club needs to decide whether to try to save this
car or not. I will have every spare spot at my new lot
filled with the last 3 cars, no vacant spots, so it
can't go with me, and I have no interest in it,
either. There are a few others I'd like to save, but
have no room for them, either.
Please, if ANYONE is interested, contact either me
at Gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx, or any Club Officer in the
Potomac Ramblers club, and see if we can save it. I'm
planning on being at the farm this coming Thursday and
Friday, March 2nd and 3rd, to expedite my final exodus
of cars, parts, motorcycles, etc. I cannot guarantee
the future of this car anymore personally, as it's out
of my hands now, it doesn't belong to me, it belongs
to the club, so it needs to be a consensus by club
members/officers if anyone wants it. I know the club
was trying to get $600 for it at one time. At this
point, I don't know if it'll sell, or just saving it
by giving it to someone. Still looks pretty good on
the outside. Frame rust in rear.
Guys or gals, let me/us hear from you if you can or
want to save this car. It's imperative that it get
moved probably in the next few weeks, to have a prayer
of being saved. I can't guarantee anything with it,
being as the farm property disposition is not in my
hands, and I'm at the mercy of my aunt now as much as
Ben or this car is. So, sorry to have to bring this
news out so quickly, but other concerns have been on
my mind, and this '62 wasn't one of them. Just wanted
to get it out in the open, so if there is any interest
in it, it may stand a chance of being saved from being
made into Chinese scrap metal.
Ben, not sure if you've advertised that you want to
sell some cars, but I now have digital pictures of all
your cars down there, from the humpster Javelins to
the COncords, Spirits, Eagle, Ambassador, etc. If you
don't have any, I can forward them to you, or to
whoever is interested. Just need to upload them from
my camera , which is my next task after this email
gets Sent. :)
For myself, I have my '70 Javelin and the '75
Matador coupe inside the shop-turned-garage, both
Gremlin GT 2( to be scrapped ) and 74 Gremlin are
moved, the '70 Hornet, wifes VW Scirocco 16v ( for
sale, btw ), '55 chevy Suburban are all parked at the
Gremlin Garage II now. Only a Matador X coupe, V-8
Spirit shell ( for sale, $600 , with title I "think",
no motor/trans, but has the rear axle and V-8
crossmember ), and a '57 Chevy 4-door 210 sedan ( also
for sale, fiberglass tilt front end, $700 obo, with
283 V-8 and original Powerglide trans ). So, that's
what I've been up to for the past few weeks, trying to
save my fleet. Almost done! I've also finished
stripping a '74 Javelin body, that will go to the
junkyard, I got as much off it as I could, I will be
posting plastic interior parts ( tan/beige) and other
trim items for sale soon ( back tail lights, quarter
glass, some seat belts, misc. etc ). So, I'm taking
Sunday today as a day of rest, it'll be back to the
mines Monday, need to take the parents grocery
shopping, then 2 days of some time at home, then back
to the final move at the end of the week. I'll be glad
when it's all over! Whew! Sign me

I remember that movie. Actually, it's BUG, singular. I saw it a the local drive-in, in my Javelin IIRC, in 1975. Definately sub-standard quality, even for the "giant critter" genre...

Unfortunately the car gets set ablaze by a giant fire spewing cockroach. If this movie is ever on in your area, be sure to watch it, as it may just be the worst sci-fi film ever made.

Rhett; I am not sure what part of the NW you live in
but rust is a big issue. Look out the window on any
day in the late fall, winter, early spring and you can
see the sky crying. Remember January?
Anyways, living here in the NW for as long as I have
been rust is a big concern. Especially if the window
seal have been leaking, water will drip down the path
of least resistance which usually is the trunk area.
Any vinal top car will have rust under it, and any car
driven in the winter will have rust in the fender
area. And any car period will have some degree of cowl
rust.
We don't salt to the extreme that the East does, so
any rust that isn't noticable will most likely be easy
to deal with.......Russ

Appears the scammers stole someone's user ID from ebay, this time is someone
that sells handbags!
So if you are quick, and I mean quick, here is the auction for the blue
Duffy's 69 Javelin again. Feel free to bid it up like last time, since it is
Canada I could not bid $9 million, but did pop it for $999,999 which I don't
know how much that is in Tire Money:

Eddie has pointed out some Ebay scams. I just noticed
that some clown in Portland, OR is now charging $10 to
answer a question about AMC parts that he does not yet
have listed on Ebay. He calls it a "restocking fee".
Give me a break.
There's an example at this auction number:

For those of ya'll looking for the million dollar Javelin, it got taken out
again. Below is some good advise, although sort of late, but good advise I
guess to watch your ass on some of those fruad auctions that pop up on
fee-bay. Note that if someone used Paypal, you "may be" eligible for a $1000
cover. However, again as mentioned before the scam works like this:
The scammers steal someone's ID, and some photos of whatever. In this case
(and February 17th) it was a blue 69 Javelin. They put up a auction quickly
(and on the 17th had over a dozen fruad auctions everything from Mustang to
Healey) but all they are doing is phishing for emails from suckers who think
they are getting a deal of a lifetime. And once you bid, they have your
email to contact you directly. Usually informing you that "they will take
your offer and you can paypal (or insert credit card here) them the funds to
hold the car" for you. Needless to say that is how 4 people got ripped off
for the tune of $4500 each a few weeks ago. And the scammers will be long
gone with your money and you have no recourse, 'maybe' $1K coverage on
paypal, but that is only if you took out the insurance to begin with duh.
Best thing to do until ebay gets a handle on this crap is for everyone to be
vigiliant, and if you see something too good to be true AMC-wise, quickly
let other AMCers know.
Or better yet, click on "live chat" on the front page of ebay and give them
the auction number so they can check quickly. I think it is more fun bidding
millions of dollars on it however, and emailing those bidders directly
letting them in on the scam so they too can bid millions :~))
Since I was uh, the high bidder on this Javelin (thanks roxie for alerting
me!) and then again live chatted ebay with info, this is the TKO notice I
got from ebay with things to do in case I had sent any electronic transfer
of funds to the scammers. Won't be the last time we see these scams either!
