I know someone with a 70 Donahue that is rusted beyond repair and he is looking for a good shell to build a retaged one. I have no complaints about retagging a car with no tile to save it as some states make getting a new title a liveing hell. But I don't go for retagging a car and passing it off as a high dollar original and not the clone it is. Luckily for me my new Hornet that came originally from Florida had been registered and driven in N.Y. for 6 years by 2 previous owners.

Rust free cars are hard to come by here in lower N.Y. never mind a rust free AMC of any kind. If I had not been screwed out of this car 4 1/2 years ago by the guy I bought it from, it would have been in a lot better shape mechanically. But all in all 500$ for a 99% rust free good running 30 year old car that is drivable is a good price. After the repairs and the complete new interior I figure to have spent 2,500$ + the 500$ I paid for it. Where can you get a nice car for 3,000$ now a days? 3,000$ won't even get you a decent used ricer or an American El Cheapo version. Add on another 1,500-2,000$ for a nice paint job and 2 rechroned bumpers and I will have practically a new car.
