The fellow who customizes these sells them for $2000-$4000. I'll post photos when he done, he recently did a Edsel and a Hudson. The ironic part here is that no one would give seller $500 for whole 56,000 mile, 1 owner car. So he bought it cheap. I bought remainder from him. Rustfree sheetmetal for AMC is at a premium & damned near obsolete. Especially some like the 2 year used stacked headlight fenders like this. But no one wanted the Ambassador in year old original owner had it for sale. I'm really on the fence on this one, as have seen THOUSANDS of AMCs crushed in Houston pick a parts until there are no more AMCs in junkyards across USA. There has not been a AMC anything in Houston PYP's in 5 years. So this donor car which had been sitting stuck to ground (like the 68 Ambassador DPL I parted out last 3 years, almost identical situation) this car had not floors, no inside trunk pan, and unibody caked with rust. So was a donor car. Owner took Sawzall to clip, did good job and is in his workshop I was at this morning. There was a small, round AMC decal with 'WATER CHECKED' behind one of the headlights stiff from 1967 Kenosha inspection. Anyways, the front clip will live on as high dollar art, 3X-5X more than what no one offered for car when complete for sale. And lots of donor parts salvaged off it for those still out there needing obsolete parts. Just one...less set of stacked headlight fenders, grille, hood, front bumper to go around I guess. http://www.planethoustonamx.com/68-ambassador-6.jpg http://www.planethoustonamx.com/68-ambassador-5.jpg http://www.planethoustonamx.com/parting-out-amc-ambassador-sst-1.jpg Eddie Stakes 713-464-8825 days www.planethoustonamx.com _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
