While I don't remember a train wreck, would not surprise me. There was
boatload of new Nashes that went down in storm on transportation boat in
Great Lakes (I think it was Lake Superior) in 1946, all those brand new
cars at bottom of lake. And since the waters up there generally stay cold
year round, at least on bottom, those cars should be nicely preserved! So
I'm up for a NOS brand new 1946 Nash anything.
But the train wreck, don't know, but would have to guess it would be like
some of the FedEX or UPS planes going down, or here in Houston a few years
ago a FedEx truck jack knifed and blew up, taking everyone's packages with
it, and in there was tons of NOS Mopar products destined for regional
dealerships. Ehm they wrote it off.
On the crossmembers, these were left 'natural' from the factory, not
painted, but if never installed I would guess if seller claims there would
be no evidence of bolts, washers, tightening or installion on areas
tightened to unibody or engine motor monts for instance. I may add that I
have went to tons of auctions since 1980s and estate sales and would be
surprised the NOS crap any-Nash-Rambler-AMC related has popped up. One
time there was 150+ 70-73 Gremlin/Hornet steering wheels for $10 each.
Another time dozens of 71-74 chrome floor mounted AT shifters, bought them
all for $250. Yet anothet time a guy called me asking if I buy AMC junk,
there was 189 NOS 68-69 Javelin rear reflector lens housing combinations
left over from a old Pontiac/Olds/AMC dealer in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada in
a school bus, nothing else aMC just these combinations, of course, like
most AMC lenses, were Made In Canada Eh:

I ended up with all of them. I had a call the other day from a AMCer who
have been trying for many years to get a area 'old aMC dealer to come off
his parts in the 2nd floor' where they have been sitting for decades, no
one knows what all up there, just....stuff, go figure.

This is interesting too? NOSAMC is selling off NOS crossmembers from the
legendary train wreck of new AMC parts.

Perhaps the train wreck really did occur? I'm still hoping to find that
1970 NOS 390 engine and a NOS hood for my green Javelin.........anyone got
those stashed in their basement?

A million dollar AMC part I knew it would happen
