of these in and not in boxes/pagkages and they just have the outer
ring, and the part numbers have fallen off. what would they be without
the center section. i can sure lift them with one finger. thanks.

I was thinking mechanical problems and didn't even consider wheel
balance and shocks! Thanks for adding that Matt!!

I'd try the speedometer cable first to fix the needle problem. My 68
American had that exact same problem when I got it and it was solved
with a new cable.
Your shimmy may be nothing more than out of balance (or bad) tires.
Drums can also be out of balance but that's not as common, you can check
for this by looking at the lip around the outside edge of the drum to
see if there's a spot where a weight used to be. Bad shocks can also
contribute to this and will make vibration from out of balance tires and
drums more noticeable.

Jim, you can't just flip the Eagle front axle to the right side, you
know. How do you plan on overcoming that little problem? Swapping left
and right side axle shafts and tubes? Seems like it would be better to
leave the drive on the left and bend a new head pipe. You'll have a lot
of floor work either way.
-------------
My plan for the Spirit (I keep trying to call it an AMX because it
reminds me of the '77 I had to part for the motor to go into my '73
J4000)
is to put EFI on the 258 and a lockup 727 trans (pretty basic to this
point
but now it gets "different") then put a Dana 20 tcase on the IH 727 (off
an
AMC 6 rig) and flip it to the driver's side. Top that off with an AMC
Eagle
front axle and sub frame and Jeep XJ rear axle (I have a 3.07 geared
pair)
I'll have to mod the floor a bit on the driver's side, but not nearly
as
much as for the regular tcase used in Eagles.

Bob, my first thought was that $15K was actually "low average" for a
nice AMX (they tend to bring ~$20K, 360 or larger, depending on options
and condition). But then I read everything -- some missing parts, not
running, wrong color. If there's no documentation (window sticker?)
there's no way to tell if it is an original "AMX 500" either. The
sticker on the fender doesn't cut it! Even if it were a metal emblem
that would still prove nothing. Depending on WHY it's not running, this
could be anywhere from a $5K-$10K car. It will take another $10K to get
it to $20K territory, mainly because it really needs a good paint job
back to the original color to be RESTORED. Not "fixed up" or
"restified", but RESTORED -- as in put back to factory appearance (or at
least fairly close -- and note that I dais APPEARANCE -- I give a bit of
leeway for things like brake and engine improvements and adding optional
equipment).
I wouldn't give any extra for an "AMX 500" either. It's more a selling
point than a value adder. The AMX 500 was a regional special that really
had nothing but the sticker as unique equipment. Some California dealers
got together and came up with the "package" for advertising purposes.
They may have got a group order up of specific equipment, but I've seen
them in several colors. That indicates that the dealers may have got a
discount on a specific option package ordered over a short time period.
Bigger discounts came with ordering a certain number of cars all exactly
the same -- color and all. That would also make them a little more
valuable, as they could be more easily distinguished. Anyone can slap a
sticker on and call it "special". I'd have to see some kind of
documentation to add anything to an appraisal price, and even then it
wouldn't add much in this case -- the AMX 500 is to little known, and
those "in the know" realize it's really just a sticker. Hence a good
"selling point", but not much of a "value adder".

Help.
I seem to have lost some parts for my AMX. In re-installing the electric windshield wipers I cannot find the hardware to mount the electric motor to the cover plate or the attaching pieces to connect the motor to the arm.
I'm sure I will find them as soon as I arrange alternatives but for now, I'm looking for the parts.
The car is a 70 AMX.
Any help would be appreciated. I can see how the Charity AMX has had problems with parts. Not missing, just nowhere to be found.

IIRC, American Parts Depot, the place in Florida, has all/most of this stuff.
I replaced all my clutch linkage bushings and boots with the stuff they sell and it all seemed like quality stuff.

I used to be able to lift a manual trans flywheel with one finger! Not comfortable to carry, but I could lift it! probably still can! Gives everything a good stretch!

Frank, read again, he plans on flipping the T-case not the axle!
He is intending to leave the clocking so that the front output is lower than a normal Eagle to help clear the Spirit floor. Interesting plan.
Not sure it is worth the effort, but, we'll see.

Got it now!! I didn't pay close enough attention. The Dana T-case has a
passenger side drive to the front, I was thinking he was trying to move
the drive to the passenger side (that the Dana had driver's side front
output). Need to pay a little closer attention sometimes!
