Another thought to add to this truth pointed out by Eddie: As more of our AMC's are crushed, the blocks are disappearing along with them. No more are being produced. Our (and God knows I hate this term) 'orphan' auto line will truly become extinct if some of us don't save the bodies, parts, etc. powered by ____________ (fill in the blank) if necessary. How many times I have heard people wanting to convert to EFI, upgrade braking systems, exhausts, and so on...does this diminish the standard or improve the breed? The pure all-stock AMC cars with the impossibly impeccable original parts are dwindling as our line is depleted in junkyards all across the country. Why do I choose AMC? I don't really know - guess it started with the love of a unique car....that just happened to carry the red, white, & blue logo.*grin* -Lu- --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxx> wrote: > And the reason is simple: I have personally witnessed over 8000+, count them, eight thousand plus, American Motors built vehicles crushed here in Houston alone since 1983. > Why?
