Carlisle is great exercise, lightens the wallet as well as waistlines...

 Well, I took off Friday, went up with Ben Franklin, our AMC club 
president, and we walked from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. I bought mostly literature, 
some fine HUGE Metropolitan black and white photos, other AMC post cards, 
advertisements, mag articles, whatever I could find. Actually came back with 
less bulk than in previous years, and I may have sold my '69 javelin hood, 
talked to a guy at an AMX vendor spot, he was looking for a '69 hood for a 
friend of his, and I was in the right place at the right time. I told him I 
was asking $250 for the hood, I've had it in storage at the farm for a few 
years, I found out it wouldn't work (easily) on a '70 Javelin. So, might make 
a little mullah on this item, if his friend wants it badly enough. Might 
meet him at Cecil, have to wait for him to call me on it. 
Anyway, didn't find too much else Hornet or Gremlin, other than some 
lit., I did find a V-8 crossmember out of a Hornet, but the guy wanted $300, 
so I had to pass. Darn! I really want one, I can take the one out of the 
Spirit down the farm, but that's work. :) Maybe I'll get one from Leon's. He 
still has a Hornet with one, I think.
I picked up a few other items, some Gremlin patches, two different 
Matador patches, a RAmbler Service patch, then hit a few of the tool vendors 
to look for special tweasers and other interesting items. I actually took it 
easier ( walking ) than in previous years, didn't go gung-ho to try to see it 
all anymore. My wallet didn't take it any easier, though, took most of my $ 
at Carlisle. Luckily I didn't go up with any more. LOL. That Gremlin go-kart 
is still for sale by a vendor, for $1,500. Ouch, I'll pass. Nice, but I can 
buy two or three full-size cars with that money! :)
Anyway, think I'll go lay down it's been a long day, and I only got 3 
hours sleep last nite. Ya'll have a great weekend, mine's off to a good 
start. Hope to get the old '76 Matador running tomorrow, so we ( the owner 
and I ) can get it shipped off overseas to a guy, and out of my driveway 
finally! Also need to pull the sunroof Grem out of the garage, move some 
stuff out, and push the car all teh way in so I can have access to my working 
things. Lots to do! Well, g'nite, folks. AMC ya in the morning...
