Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Gremlin Navaho Purse

[AMC74HORNET@xxxx]

The person could probably make a small fortune selling material to
people looking to restore their cars than making purses out of it. I'd
be happy to find some original material to do the bucket seats for the
new Hornet as I have a mint back seat from the yellow car that is going
in it.

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.....

Gremlin built by Vehiculos Automores Mexicanos. Some of the neat
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.

someone need for their collection. Oh well. Let me have another Pabst
and go take a SawzAll to my SC/360 roof now!
