Re: [Amc-list] Leon's Auto Parts

It was likely a mis-quote or he got a few more things than quoted for. I don't think he'd have sent them the $80 if he felt they were unfair, and I doubt they would have let him go with the parts and trusted him for the payment if they were "shady" on the deal. 

I understand your sentiments though Matt. Normally I'd do the same, but when you find parts for a Rambler nowadays you just might have to pay the price or do without. We're getting to be enough of a minority that we just have to take it sometimes. I'll do that before changing brands!

If it was because they found out he had an SC/Rambler instead, then it 
sounds like a pretty dishonest place to deal with. I would have been 
extremely cheesed and let them keep their parts.
