[Amc-list] AMC Adventure

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I picked up a 64 Classic (660) station wagon today. 
It was an abandoned hot rod project and the previous
owner had already sold the V8 engine and transmission,
so the car will now be parted out.  I got it for the
tail gate and windshield, so everything else is for
sale. It's a central California car which appears to
be rust free.  No body damage that I have found so
far.  

It was an adventure getting the car onto my trailer
because the seller had merely sat the rear axle onto
the coil springs without reattaching the shocks or
truss rods? that previously held the axle to the
torque tube. Can you say unstable?  We had to jury rig
the assembly to get the rear wheels to stabilize in
the rear wheel wells.  Luckily we had great weather. 
If it had been rainy, my neighbor who was helping me
and I both agreed we would have just taken the parts
we needed and left the car for the seller to junk. 
But it's home now and we only need to wrestle it off
of the trailer and behind the privacy fence in my back
yard.  

Tired but relieved in Salinas,
Joe Fulton
