Slow Progress Yesterday

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

Well, I got the 'free' white 1974 Gremlin pulled out of the woods 
from its 13 year resting spot and dragged to an open area so that it 
can be loaded on a trailer and transported to my house. Yesterday, I 
took the front tires off and will have inflatable used tires placed 
on the rims. I have a problem now....the back tires will not turn. I 
don't know if the car will go into neutral or not, the transmission 
clicks through the gears, but it doesn't seem to help. I may have to 
take the drive train apart? Another problem - both the front corner 
plastic pieces are cracked, and don't look repairable. I hope these 
pieces are not too hard to find. Otherwise, the body looks too be in 
good shape with only surface rust, and the interior appears usable. A 
good note: I went through the glove box and found the dealer's bill 
of lading for delivery of this car from 1974 along with many service 
papers and the AMC owners plastic card! Fun reading, and nice history 
of this baby.
