[AMC-list] RE Pie in the sky - 290 - Doug

[John Eckersley <john.eckersley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hear you Doug. I contacted the seller and he was very polite. I also
sincerely wish him well, but I think it is unrealistic.  AMCs aren't any
more valuable here in the UK even though they are rare. I doubt my two 290
SST Rebel convertibles would fetch (combined) what he is asking for the
short block.
