Re: [Amc-list] Just crush the 73 Ambo?

Marc:
I believe his first post stated that the interior had already been gutted by the previous owner who had intended to make a race or derby car of it and either lost interest or got in a tight and sold the car to Jesse. So, while the car might be functional, it would take massive effort to return it to a complete car.

Is this correct, Jesse?

Like Marc, I detest seeing a savable Rebel/Matador/Ambassador get junked or parted just to save the driveline. It's really a waste. However, I do understand they can't all be saved. So, if the car can't be saved, best save what can be saved from it so that others might still live.

Jesse,

First off, I am kind of wondering why you're going to crush it if it is a running, driveable car.  If it's running, why not just drive it?  They're getting rare, and engines and trannies are already sitting in garages all over the country, waiting for people to buy them.

Second, I can probably use the passenger side front fender, the driver's side rear door, and possibly some of the chrome, among other things.  I have a 71 Brougham:

I'd always be interested in interesting optional equipment (AM/8track, AM/FM, AM/FM Stereo, etc).

So I am going to get the "easy" stuff and scrap the rest.  Don't have room for it, but I know someone out there has to need this stuff to keep for a rainy day for their AMbo!
