[AMC-list] fer sale

[Wrambler <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I cut the front inner fenders out of the 65 Ambassador.
They are very nice, light service rust no real rust.
I saved them because they are just darned nice...
I have no use for them, would like to find them a good home.

afaik these fit 65-66 and may work for other extended wheelbase cars.
I can send pics and measurement.they may fit Classics need measurements to see.
Again quite nice.
