Sure send that to me, as I just was quoting the
stockholders report from 1985 in another online place as someone asked when 'AMC
quit putting their logos on cars' and well, not to get off topic, but this was
my answer...............
"One more thing. About the 88 Eagles, it is my
understanding that Chrysler
removed all exterior AMC emblems from the 88s.
It I believe goes back into
1986. I have stock holders information here and
rare stuff I will have to
check into. The reason why I mention this is the
ratification of the Renault
transaction was 7.29.85. But Renault was rather
adamant about having AMC
logo on 'their' cars. It goes back further into the
strained Alliance era
where AMC wanted some of the glory with the 'car of
the year' and was
sticking little AMC decals inside the back of the windows
of the Renaults. I
could go back further even as talks with Renault
LePeiceOfShit began in
1977!
But someone on your site asked about decals.
Interiorwise, you could find
AMC emblems and such all the way into 1992!
Radios, belts, hoses, you name
it, tons of this stuff stuff had AMC on it.
However, when it came to
exterior, no, because Renault didn't want to be
associated with a
failing/failed car company. So they tried to generic the
Eagle. I believe
the main reason why was press. Every time you read or heard
about AMC they
had a hyphen in from of name like "struggling American
Motors" and "post
another loss" or "lose millions in the quarter" for
instance. Sort of like
what we see with Ford and GM right now....damaged
goods."
Interesting that you found something like that from
1978. AMC had some monster problems, especiall quality control which sucked,
from 76, 77, 78. They had been schmoozing with the frogs (le piecesoffeces)
since mid 76, but 'talks began in earnet' in 1977. So from a historical aspect,
stuff like that (to me) is facinating.

kammback
Thanks guys, I'm really tempted. Have to make a decision
soon. Think I'll go back for another look. Also Eddie , I was doing some
demo on a job the other day and found a Det. News paper from 78 with an
article on AMC about then chairman Meyers outlook for AMC just before the
merger with Renault. Nothing spectacular, but interesting just the same. I'll
send it to ya as soon as I get a chance.

Those are rather rare Paul, and seldom seen
when new, and well, seldom seen now. I believe that Kammback lasted only a
few years and like the SX/4, not a whole lot of them sold. I probably have
the production figures here somewhere could dig up for you. Good luck, maybe
make the guy a offer off e-bait to see if he will accect, that way he won't
get popped with 'final value fee' by fee-bay.

Motor Mounts/Trans mounts website found....
I hate to change the subject, but it,s easier to
reply than compose, so please excuse. I've been watching a 79 Spirit Kamm
back on ebay. I wasn't aware of the spirit even though I grew up in an AMC
familly. It kind of looks like a stretched Gremmie. If anyone has seen
this car could you give me some input, as I am thinking about bidding. I
now have a 74 Gremlin but this car looks to good to pass up. what do ya
think? Paul in Detroit. SCOTT BALDAUF

Glad to hear from you again Joe. Wondered if you were still around
here. Man I just missed a 72 Jav up here for $150. I talked to this guy
last year and it seemed like he did not want to sell anything. Well he
tells me yesterday he sold 2 of his javs. He was pissed because the guy
turned the one in a weeks time. I probably should have told him he
should have sold it to me. LOL

---Bart,
they are the rubber motor mounts. Davis..i thought that the
motor mounts were are the same(thanks for the info)...BUT i need
to
know about trans mounts??? Will a 904 trans mount work on a
727...Will a 75-77 Matador trans(727?) trans mount fit a 74 AMX
727?
I just didn't know why the company does not list a set ( no
motor or
trans) for the 71-74 V8 Jav/AMX...or a V8
Gremlin/Hornet?? They sell
individual pieces or as a set..(two
motor mounts and a trans mount).
Thanks...NO work on my Grem
yet......been having job interviews..etc
for a different
job.We are NOT looking to be called back to the
Mittsubishi factory that laid of 1200 of us over a year ago.
