Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Oh, the HORROR! My Javelin has been parted out!!!!

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eddie's right. I have had my rust free 68 AMX forsale for quite some time now. Lots of tire kickers but no takers. I only want 1500. If I were to say cut off the rear quarters I could get at least 1200 front fenders 700 windshield, 200 rust free floor pans 450 rear clip 250 front clip 250 I could make ALOT more parting it(double my asking price). But I am an AMC guy and can't stomach the idea right now. But I may have to one day.

 I need the space for my Gremlins!!
