I haven't seen an AMC of any kind in a junk yard here in 10-15 years. There is a scrap metal yard down the road from me that one of the owners is an AMC guy and maybe you see 1 in there every few years that he has bought for parts for himself and sells a few to others like me but it's been a long time since I saw one there. You have to go north in a rural area to try to find anything around here.
