Subject: Amish country AMCs, antiques,used book store in Strasburg...
I drove up in my ol' '74 chevy p/u Friday evening with the girlfriend,
and
spent the weekend up near Lancaster, in Gap, PA. While the girlfriend was
helping her Mom pack up to move out ( Notice! Auction June 3rd, selling
household items, car and truck(Ranchero, '70's), Winross scale trucks,other
fine Danbury mint cars, tools ( bandsaw, riding lawnmower, etc. )
household
items, etc, I drove around the area, hitting hobby shops, looking thru
antique shops, and having a blast. I found an AMX/2 Hotwheels car, the
Warpath, in near mint shape, but the guy wanted $55 for it, so I passed (
it's at Cackleberry antiques, on Rt. 30 above Gap, in the G.I. Joe shop,
the
guy has an amazing amount of old GI Joe toys ). Saw several Eagles and
Concords around the area, as well as some old '50s Willeys jeep wagons, one
for sale near Strasburg. Got some great books and mags from an old used
book
store about a mile from the Choo-choo Barn near Strasburg on Rt. 741: a '72
Gremlin glovebox spec book, some SIA magazines with Nash/Metro articles in
them, some REALLY old children's fiction books on stock car and drag
racing,
and I didn't even get a chance to look at the rest of the book store, as I
was late getting back to the house to meet Barbara for more shopping fun.
But, it was a fun day, I hadn't had much chance to go driving around
before,
we usually take the girlfriends car on holidays, this time I drove, we were
bringing back some of her Mom's furniture , so I got to go do stuff for a
change. :) Also saw a '60's 4-dr American, possible a '64, down near
Coatesville, where I posted last year that some fine AMCs were for sale at
a
body shop. No other AMC's present this time, though. And the car was gone
when I drove back by, so I know it moves and runs.
I hit a few Hobby shops, found some Athearn cars with airplanes on them,
was hoping to find some nice auto racks, but just the more modern enclosed
versions, ugh! I'm into N, HO, 0-27, and G scales, I'm planning on putting
a
G scale garden railway in my backyard near my deck this summer ( pulling up
the stinkin' English ivy now, it's overrun the entire 80' length of flower
border ), so I may get a few of the flatbed car carriers, and mount some
AMC
models to them eventually. LOL.
Anyway, had a great time, although got sick on Sunday, had to drive
back
all congested. Came back down Rt. 301 thru Maryland, that's a great route,
bypasses I-95 and virtually no traffic, took no longer than using the Big
Parking Lot Hgwy. If you ever get up that way, it's worth staying awhile,
luckily my GF's brother still lives there as well, so we'll have a place to
stay if we want to visit again. Her brother Mike is into Slot cars, and has
his own 4-lane track ( and an AMX in his display case, lol ), so he's ok.
Well, that's my weekend report, hope everyone else had a safe and
pleasant
Easter holiday. I'm still sick, stayed home ( so much for flu shot
effectivness! ) , so at least I can catch up on my emails. Going to
Carlisle
on Friday, hope to see some of you there ( I'll be driving my Pacer wagon,
brown, if I can get it to run ok by then ). Later, AMC'ers!
Jerry

Hi,
My name is mike, and I am a new member to this group. My friends call me
Gremlin mike. I wonder why? I have a '71 gremlin, which is currently being
customized. It came with a 232 and auto trans., both have been rebuilt. New
springs front and rear. Had the door handles shaved, installed power
windows, took off all key locks. Solenoid opening doors, and push button
starting, all controlled by the alarm system.I have been working on the I
terior which was orginally black. so I stayed with black, only black
crushed
velvet. I car is painted white with rainbow powder dusting. It has
centerline polished rims all around, and fat tires on the rear. I rebuild
it
to use as a daily driver. I live in south fla. Last year I drove it up to
wisconsin, and it ran perfect. It was the first long haul after rebuild.
There are still alot of things that I want to do to it as money becomes
available, all in good time. I am glad I found this group as it is sometime
hard to find stuff for your gremlin, although I have found alot of stuff on
the internet. I read someones email about needing some hub caps, I have 2
or
three from my grem, if some one is interested. Good talking all of you.
great site!!!!!
(gremlin mike)
