Sounds like they needed parts for their own restoration.

The consensus of opinion is that Ken is right. The majority opinion 
is some one knew some one  put an order in for AMC parts to fix there 
car cheap ,with professional thieves . Other wise if you did not have 
some one standing there wanting part why would you steal it , not 
like it's a small block Chevy or Mustang parts. Most likely an early 
Javelin (68 to 70) , may be a latter 71 to 74 car. The thieves left 
pretty much all the specific AMX parts like grill and the AMX hood 
and front hood trim, every thing except the AMX badge on the grill 
and took largely the parts that would fit on an early or late 
Javelin. They cut the wringing harness , the fuel injection harness , 
took the radio and rear speaker, but pretty much outside of the radio 
and rear speaker left the interior alone , except for the sun visors 
and rear view mirror and the left side header trim.The hood , the 
grill, rear window louvers, and quarter panels they left on the car, 
a lot of high dollar items on the car. They could be taking my 69 AMX 
some where else to fix another car and done more damage but when they 
lost the car on a major Vegas intersection while towing it with a 
chain some where they just left it , which more then likely means 
they had most of what they wanted any way and were taking it some 
place to dump it. Unfortunately when they dump a car near Vegas it's 
usually set on fire and more often then not has a dead body in it 
too!  I have people checking Craig's list and ebay for any thing that 
looks like parts off my car , a good number of which are fairly 
unique and so far nothing shown up on either in the Las Vegas area. 
If some one was selling a bunch of new parts on ebay or Craig's list 
more then likely some one would question it and the Police seem to 
check ebay and Craig's list too. WE think that a car is being fixed 
and will be sold with a large number of my 69 AMX's stolen parts and 
then sold and show up 3 or 4 owners down the road in a few years at a 
AMC meet some where. The betting is it gets sold to the east coast 
some where at some point and then show up. I finally got the remains 
off my trailer and into a storage unit today,  where I start to 
gather parts to redo the car again, but I'm still waiting to hear 
from the insurance company on a settlement. So , keep an eye out for 
the stuff. thanks, LRDaum
