I sent this to the seller of my old AMX: (off ebay) Question from eddiestakes Hi folks, that is one of my old cars, sold it to a fellow in Houston in I believe 1988(?) and he drove it home to Red Lodge, MT. Nice little car, was a good driver, I had painted it and put a incorrect 70 C stripe on it. This would be a really good starter AMX for someone, was surprised to see it on ebay, can't remember who I sold it to, that was many years ago, and have had 302 AMXs and Javelins since then. I probably have some written records on the car, still remember who I bought it from; the Kingerys in Deer Park, TX! Feel free to use any of the production figures off my website if you think it will help sell the vehicle and good luck in the auction. Eddie Stakes' Planet Houston AMX www.planethoustonamx.com Received this back: (nice to see that some people reply to 'ask seller a question on ebay') "Message from eBay MemberHi, I sold the car and forwarded your information to the buyer. Kind of a small world. It had sat in that guys driveway in Red Lodge for quite a few years and I finally when over an bought it a couple years ago. I'm more into Mopars so I never did get at it but hopefully this guy will bring it back to life Thanks Tom" As for spelling; I won't even go there, and it don't affect whether I will bid on something or not. In this case, it simply appears the seller wanted the vehicle to go to a good home, hopefulyl it will. I don't use spell check (and it's hidden somewhere in this computer(s) here) and used to annoy the nuns 30+ years ago with ect. Not sure what ect. is, but just how I spell it all these years. Sort like seeing any tv program telling you MORE coming up. "we will be back with MORE" in a moment. Wake me up with MORE! Anyone who has ever bothered to read my crap knows I commonly mispell wichc in some configuration. No, I don't have time to go back and re read everything I might type or write as more important things to do. It is "which" but fingers sometimes go faster than mind, vise versa, and many times....just tired, long day, kids screaming, whatever. Some are apologetic over their use of english, got this today: "HI Eddie I hope you understand my bad english anyway, As I have mentioned to you dozen of SC was imported to Sweden as new and one of these I imported to Finland." And if Wolfgang in Germany is still on here, he sent me this: notiocho@xxxxxxxxxxxx subject: Propierti Hornet 1975 realname: Sauel Carlos Guillén text: Necesito que me digan si tienen distribuidor en El Paso, Texas, porque necesito unas refacciones.- Gracias To which our favorite German AMC fellow replied: "Hola Sauel, no soy un vendedor, sólo me gustan los coches de AMC. Si necesitas partes de recambio para tu Hornet, llama Eddie Stakes de Houston, Texas. Lo tiene un almacén de repuestos y contactes con otros fanes y vendedores en tuyo región. Yo estoy en Munich, Alemania, por eso no puedo ayudarte mucho en encontrar partes. Lo siguiente es de la página web <URL:http://www.planethoustonamx.com/ " Of which was forwarded to me by Wolfgang, to whihc <look< I axed (you spell it axed a question no?) From: <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Mauricio Jordán Márquez rambler_hunter_amx_282@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Fw: Propierti Hornet 1975 Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 19:08:30 -0500 What the hell is he saying?" To which my friend in Mexico replied: "Hi Eddie, Here is the complete translatio. Take care. 'Hi Sauel, I am not a vendor, I only like the cars of AMC. If you need replacement parts for your Hornet, call Eddie Stakes from Houston, Texas. He has a warehouse of parts and contacts with other fans and vendors from your region. I am in Munich, Germany that is why I can't help you a lot in finding parts. The following is the webpage of Eddie Stakes: http://www.planethoustonamx.com " So while I know spanish, someone in El Paso, TX, 900 miles west of me, is/was looking for Hornet parts. Ironically they ended up in Germany, then back to Texas, then to the west Mexican costs, then back to Texas. Not good english, not good spanish. Message got thru however loud and clear eventually. I did let the fellow in El Paso I have a complete, running, driving, stopping, 74 Hornet Sportabout wagon for sale for $575 also: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4561296222&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAS:US:3 As while it sold, the fellow backed out (with my ok) when he found out too much to ship it to where hurricane Ophelia is now hitting on east coast. So it is still for sale! Good little car! And for John I have added a new description for my 74 Hornet Sportabout for sale: ""It needs toally restored but it is a good starter car. The motor looks like the original 258 and it no has the AMC factory aluminum intake. It ran when I stored this a few years ago but it needs rebuilt. It start NOW with battery. The interior is complete but it also needs totally restored: only carpet, and driver seat from my big ass. It no has a 4 speed and 3.23 posi. Also not included is 4 factory rally wheels." :~))>> Anyhows, anyone interested in the Hornet, email me, I need to move it or part it out, too good to part out however even though it is worth more in parts than whole. And good to see the old flame in MT find a good home, lets encourage these folks, not everyone can be a spelling bee champ like me, hee hee. (true story CCPS spelling bee champ late 1960's, axe me a word) Eddie Stakes ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
