[Amc-list] Yet Another Ambo Dies Needlessly For a Javelin

["Swygert, Francis G MSgt 436 CES/CECM" <Francis.Swygert3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, maybe the Ambo was dead already -- wrecked or rusted beyond
repair, or at least in a salvage yard due to be crushed. Looking at it
that way, at least some part of it was saved! And who knows, maybe an
Ambo owner with a bad engine will buy it...  

I agree with you on one respect -- I hate to see a perfectly good,
easily restored or "fixed up" to nice driver status car sacrificed for
parts. Occasionally it's unavoidable -- some parts just aren't available
any other way, so you take from the "worst" car to make the "best" one
better. When I wanted to rebuild my "hot rod" wagon, I passed on 3-4
wagons that were in fine shape. I refused to take a nice original or
older restoration and hot rod it. I waited until I found a good solid
car that needed a drivetrain, interior, and a little body work (mostly
paint). Well, it needed door seals, suspension rebuild, etc., as well,
but you get the point.

"Engine was an excellent runner I pulled from my Ambassador with
approximately 110k original on it."

AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!  Then why pull apart a perfectly good Ambassador?
It's
not like there aren't plenty of AMC motors floating around out there
already.

When are these guys going to start realizing they are scrapping AMC's
entire history?
