Re: [AMC-list] AMC engine production bean counters numbers

Eddie,I think Armand is talking about '70 390's in particular.  With the new heads and larger head bolts these are more of a rarity.  But then again, it's all about if someone is looking for that engine and how much they want to pay.  The first engine you listed here is mine that I've listed a couple of time and have never had a hit on....not one.The rebuild is an older one, but it's been taken care of as I mentioned in the ad but nobody wants to pay that much at one time.  Joe Gray has a rolling chasis GremlinX that he mentioned on facebook/amc for $1,500.  From what I read it sounds like a very solid with all the V8 options and the first comment was that was too high of a price for just a body.  REALLY??????  I'm an old MOPAR man, first muscle car was a '69 roadrunner.....now a rusted out body brings a couple thousand and people whine about $1500 for a solid body.  I need to sell all my rust buckets and get a couple of rust free bodies, now that would be novel.  No rust to 
 fix.   AMC's just don't get the respect they should.  Until the competitions had thier butts kicked by one. Dan Whitehead'70 Donohue Javelin BBO 
Yes & no. Rarity does not equate market value when it comes to AMC. Here is rebuilt 390 for $3500

another whole 'barn fresh' 390/4spd Javelin $4K/obo
 
http://carbondale.craigslist.org/cto/3157842234.html
 
running 69 AMX 390/4spd $6500
 
http://providence.craigslist.org/cto/3186975457.html
 
and my favorite....a promotional AMC dealership giveaway car it is ONE of ONE and struggled to get to $6500 on ebay:

yet I watched what was left of a Camaro pace car sell for $8900 a few weeks ago, and there was nothing salvagable on it escept, 
the....title. So someone bought it for the tags. Yes this 1 of 1 car could not get what I spend just driving into strip club parking 
lot. Go figure. Are the 390 engines desirable, yes, they pop up for sale in the AMC rags, craigslist and ebay, rebuilt about $4500, 
but cores $1500 or less.
