Re: [AMC-List] Brought home a Vigilante over the weekend...

Lookee what I done started! LOL! The starter isn't that hard to rebuild. I 
think a Chev starter kit will work in it, even though it's probably a 
Prestolite. I think auto and std are different.

...in the form of a 65 Wagoneer.  Don't really know if the
vehicle is worth saving, but I've seen many Waggies from the
80's and 90's that were far worse than this.  Couldn't beat the
"Buy It Now" price and the vehicle was as described.  Seller
also sat on it for a few weeks until I could retrieve it.
Unfortunately, there was no title.  If its not that difficult to
resurrect, I may go through the trouble of getting a title made.

Details:  3 on the tree, don't happen to know the gears.  Light
blue interior & exterior, bench seats.  Breather was present in
the cargo area.  I'm primarily a Jeeper, stick to AMC-powered
vehicles, and saw this as a good opportunity to learn more about
the older motors.  Here are some pictures:

One question I have is about the starter.  It was present (you
can see it n the floor in one pic), but off the motor and
seemingly intact.  The Seller explained to me that you can't get
replacements anymore and it would have to be rebuilt.  Any truth
to this?  If so, can someone recommend a reputable shop,
preferably in the Detroit Metro area?  If not, I'll ship it out.
