[AMC-List] Sill stumped -and- missing

["Mahoney, John" <jmahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>Where would the AMC historical database be?

Fact is that it's not here:

http://www.projekt-lichtblick.de/html/nacht_der_langen_museen_0.html

even if those blue men are

and Daimler-Benz books are 

http://tinyurl.com/kcjyv

for, sadly, it's not here

http://tinyurl.com/mvjvc

a fact made crystal clear

because the AMC historical database is here.

YOU are!  It's now in the hands of AMC fans.

It's almost $15k.

Have you bid yet? 

One in a million.

And jokes on AMC.

The oddity here is the extended wheelbase. 63 and 64 Ambassadors shared the Classic wheelbase, they weren't longer until 65. It's quite possible that the car wasn't titled for a year after construction considering it's a prototype. I believe it to be authentic, unless someone changed the serial number plate.

The oddity here is that AMC still suffers such stuff.  How strange, if not stupid, is it that any -serious- AMC seller would suggest only one bucket-seated 1965 990 convertible was produced?  How unlikely, if not improbable, is it that any -square- 1965 body would have been produced on a line that was assembling "round" 1964 cars on August 1, 1963; let alone with longer wheelbase?  If the jigs wouldn't fit, the jig is up.

If an August '63 "panel prototype", it would have been hand-built (and not on a production line); if an "interior mule" for a five-place car, it would have been hand-built more than a year before that; if it smells like fish and it's not a Tarpon or a Marlin, it could be a fish story.

Ain't nothing wrong with the cars.

If they's what you want, go ahead.

Just don't let AMC look like bait.

Today, -you- are the AMC database.
