It's my understanding that mopar too the huge tax write offs. I don't think
in this case the had to keep parts for certain model would apply sice mopar only
wanted Jeep, not all AMC baggage with it, and there was still a huge amount of
parts in the system, and also on shelves at former AMC (and Renault)
dealerships.

I thought it was a federal law after a manufacturer quit producing a
certain model they had to keep the parts for it for a certain amount of time.
I might be completely wrong and heard that when I was smoking too much
If
it's any consaltion Chrysler's does the same thing with their own parts. The
last year of the Ram Van they were destroying and loading up parts for scrap
before we even finished production which ended in June 03.
They claim
they keep stock for 20 years I know first hand trying to order parts and
they are NLS.

This is covered in a
few files of mine on my site from articles written in 1980s. Not unique to
Houston, it happened all over as Mopar was not in business to keep another
car company's history alive. Ironic that they could have used some of the
dies to press shi like fenders and sell them to us instead of melting them
down for scrap weight, but no one had $250K for the dies.
I do not
know what shelf life is of some parts, but there is a landfill in west
Houston that whole inventories were buried. Bulldozed flat. Again this
happened all over US, even the editor of AMO will tell you about it
happening in Kenosha area. Sad but true.

IS there anything to the stories I hear about Chrysler
destroying AMC parts warehouses?
