Re: [Amc-list] Radiators

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These are all good ideas that would push possible sales of such a radiator well over the  "you need 10 to get a deal" number!
  $290+- is not a bad deal for a full welded bolt in. But imagined the ability for vendors to sotck one basic radiator for almost all AMC cars!
  Then add a low tank option to cover even more!
 There have been a few custom radiators done on the forum, but no production models that I'm aware of!
