Aw ok, I'll post my personal reply, might help someone else also, thanks 
Paul for the reply to the fellow, and anyone else who cares to comment, Doc 
perhaps as he is doing interiors? But below is my reply sent directly to the 
fellow, maybe someone here can use it. Sorry nothing high performance in it 
Bart unless the fellow wants to kick that Mach 1's ass then tell us how he 
did it! Maybe a new member join who knows.

On the 67 Ambassador, you had a variety of rims and covers that were options 
for that model, inclduing spinners, turbocasts, and Ambassador hubcaps, so 
several types,a nd you could always put on rally rims too even though not 
available until 69. You might want to go to www.arcticboy.com and look under 
'ambassador' so you can determine what would be right for you. I believe I 
have a nice set of used Ambassador hubcaps, with crest for Ambassador, I 
think they are 67, possibly 68, but cheap, $30 + shipping, which would be 
about $15 to box and ship them, if you need photos, let me know as they are 
off on the side here of my house, not in warehouse.

On the Gremlin, the material used was not real denim. So you can get that 
from a variety of places like hobby stores, hell, I think even Wal Mart 
sells rolls of that shit. But if you go to hobby stores like Michaels or 
Hobby Lobby, go look inthe area where thye have buttons,a nd yes, you can 
get the original Levi's buttons for your upholstery man. I just posted 
something the other day about this, as Oleg Cassini died, and Levi's was 
some of the people AMC brought in to spruce up their image then. I'll 
forward you this and click on the links, neat stuff.

You might also want to join online places like www.amxfiles.com I would 
suggest getting it in digest form, so only a few emails a day with all 
posts; also the badassgremlin yahoo group, great bunch of people there and 
I'll forward your email here to them. You can find both groups on my 'amc 
online' file of my site also.

Lastly, I have some NOS color catalogs for Gremlin, and some photos also, go 
look in my 'amc press photos' and also 'amc literature' to see if any of 
this stuff will help you, especially the literature, as it has factory phots 
of Levis stuff in there.

  Subject: wheels


  I have been an AMC fan since 1973 when I saved up enough $ bussing dishes 
to buy a new car. It came down to a Mach 1 351c ram air 4sp. or a Gremlin X, 
5 litre levis int. Well the Gremlin was $800.00 less and I figured I could 
beat that Mach 1 with it. I can tell you the chicks were not that impressed 
but I had a blast with that car. Since then I have purchased a clone with 
everything except the Levis int. Can I still get that Levis fabric? I have 
also purchased a '67 Ambassador 343 4bbl automatic coupe. What wheels/hub 
caps would be correct for that car? Do you have any? thanks,  Larry
