Re: Gremlin Navaho Purse

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxx>]

Well damn Eddie, you must really know your purses! That fabric is a 
different pattern than the 'basketry weave' pattern that was stock on 
my 75 Pacer, and I paid $90 per yard for NOS material to have my 
seats restored! The seller of the alleged ugly a$$ purse had an 
opening bid of $50 and that was not meeting the reserve! I will 
gladly loan you my revolver with the serial number removed, Doc...I 
ain't bidding, I'm waiting for the PC material sleeping bag to come 
out. -Lu-
P.S.
Cute pun: Nava'ho' instead of Navajo.....

difference between the Mexican and US built AMCs wer subtle, some 
were real obvious! This 74 Gremlin sports a Hurst shifter, 1975 
type 'Navaho' seats used for Pacer, and checkout the 74 Hornet front 
clip and VAM unique chrome centercaps. To the bottom of the right 
reads "Gremlin X 6 Cilindros"

this is 30-31 year old material and could have made THE DIFFERENCE in 
someone's restoration) but again, I am just not sure if this 
particular Navaho material was used in 74 on the Gremlins. I know it 
was used in 75 on Pacer however.

keychains will fall apart easily and someone just wasted a car 
someone need for their collection. Oh well. Let me have another Pabst 
and go take a SawzAll to my SC/360 roof now!
