Re: [AMC-list] rarity, salesmanship, ads

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A fellow AMCer & me were discussing restoration projects and it came to mind Rocky Lear 
mentioned the other day on the amc-list that "it would depend on how slick of a salesman 
one might be" which got me thinking about some of those great old press photos on my site, 
worth mentioning and showing again AMC's 'creative salesmen & women' thru the decades:

1940s

1970's James Bond

1980's

which originally started with this about a SC/360 clone, then rolled into Matador 
Machine.......
and rarity of a 67 Rogue with 290V8, over this vehicle if ad is still live:

Subject: [AMC-list] SC/360 (parts) or clone? you decide.
NOT mine!

To which in a backed up soviet bread line of emails here when Randy & me were talking 
about
rarity and "salesmanship" he sent me these, fo whihc I have seen before, but still enough 
to
make me drop a bucket of cajun steamin crawdads:

I guess it would need most the sheet metal replaced since most ISN'T there...sorry if I am 
a simpleton.

"needs a little work to be a great car"

My thoughts is it is a bucket all right!

but someone out there probably wants it........

and on that note, when I went today to get a rake at Home Depot in my 72 Ambassador SST 
wagon,
off to the side of garden area was a silver, rusty, but looked good from 20 feet, mid 70s
Ventura, sort of Nova looking thing. I am guessing the owner is a Houston Community
College student, and after I came out of store, wrote on my receipt that "hi, not sure if 
it is for
sale or not, but if you get to the Brittmoore Ice House on Brittmoore about 2 miles from
here, there is similiar/same car as your's sitting behind place, might want to check into 
it,
and good luck' of which was the old car thing to do I guess.
