Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re:78 Concord AMX

I thought that sounded way off but I didnt know the price of scrap. I told my father that it was strange when a junkyard wouldnt sell you parts.Most of those cars were fairly complete and not much rust. I had hoped to make a profit but...I bought a couple of cars from the old owners and if they made a profit, they would sell in a second. The new owners put off a bad vibe. They are D&D Enterprises if anybody cares...eddie
 
If a junkyard could make a profit selling a whole car, Why do they scrap it. Do they have a minimum tonnage requirement to get the crusher over? I am having a hard time understanding the philosophy. I sure made it known that I had the money and the desire to get at least all the 2 door cars.

Thanks. It is complete with spoilers, flares, louvers. It has a levis interior. I thought they were only made till 76. I have checked Eddie's site already and the Google search but come up empty.I think they are a cool car. This is a 304 Auto. But like I said, alot of rust and a steep price.
There was a junkyard here in Tazewell Tn that had 11 Concords and late model Gremlins sitting in his yard.I tried to buy them 2 months ago when I found them but they were in the process of selling the business and he wouldn't sell anything. I went to the new owner yesterday( they just closed on the deal last week) and he had crushed EVERY AMC. 7 Concords,4 Gremlins 2  75 Matador coupes, 1 coffin nosed Matadoor 1 Ambassador and 1 Hornet. I almost cried. I had offered him $400.00 for each car out there. He said he made more than that crushing them. He is crushing every old car in that junkyard ( approx. 400) .If that is true, there will be a lot of old cars disappearing out of junkyards soon.

Check Eddie Stakes site he has tons of info. If it is missing the flairs
and front spoiler they are impossible to find. I haven't seen any for
sale in 6 years except the 2 that Ralph found on eBay for his son's 78
AMX. I only came across 3 sets for a 77 AMX in all this time and bought
2 of them. One just for the front spoiler. As far as value goes I have
no idea. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
