http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/18/why-my-heart-aches-when-worthless-cars-go-to-the-crusher/?smid=fb-share Sad to see but seen over 10,000+ AMCs be crushed here in Houston alone thru the years from 1983-on...first there was AMC only section at Houston pick a parts www.houstonpickapart.com which had two rows....usually 20+ cars, and those crushed within a month. Years later, one row, and same thing...crushed afteer 1-2 months. Many of these AMC vehicles no one had bid on at police lots, storage yard, salvage yards, so off to pick a part they went. Most were rust free. Just ZERO interest in them. One of the oldest files on my site deals with this called Altered AMCs http://www.planethoustonamx.com/stuff/altered_amcs.htm for instance. As I write this in May 2013, there is a huge salvage yard in Iowa fixing to get rid of everything, including a number of AMCX & Rambler vehicles http://imgur.com/a/xapHO . Yesterday got off phone with avid AMCer Kevin in NM of which he mentioned the junkyard there that is crushing all their cars crushed a Z code 71 AMX 401 car, and a 69 AMX body. This was mentioned recently in one of the various Facebook AMC groups: "ATTENTION !!! there are some AMX's in a scrap yard in albuquerque NM at a place called Bones, (505)242-0101 ask for Jason. Lets stop this from happening ! !" Apparently two 'worthless' cars met their demise 05.17.13 that 71 Z code 401 AMX & a 69 AMX, both cars someone would have liked to have! I don't think the Rambler mentioned in the NY blog was 'worthless' even if a 4 door. Someone would have liked to have it. But like thousands of AMCs before it, no interest, just not worthless. I think it deserved a better fate though. Too bad the writer didn't spring for it.
