Cool "Rambler Day" at a private junkyard....



 I just got back from an all-day AMC Rambler demolition, three of us 
Potomac Rambler guys stripped a '67 Rambler American of most it's useful 
parts left. The owner Chris, he was extremely helpful and cheap on prices, 
he's just grateful that some of the vehicles will be saved. He had quite a 
few 63-66 Chevy trucks. An El Camino that was hodge-podge, a few Dodge late 
'60's muscle cars , a few Ford '60's trucks. Most were rusty and really would 
have been major projects - most were, in my opinion, parts vehicles. VW bugs 
were there, too. And late model junk, not worth mentioning, really. His '61 
Tow truck was big and VERY rusty, he wanted $300 for it, the twin boom rig 
alone should be worth that. He had a '63 Cross Country wagon that my friend 
Ben bought, and two Classics that were 6-cylinder powered, rusty some, but 
lots of good parts. We left those two classics alone. After meandering around 
for an hour looking, I decided to buy the '30's Studebaker truck motor they 
had, for $50. Then I helped my buds strip the little Rambler til it was 
nuthin' but a shell. For only $90, we came home with two truck loads of parts 
off the car. Nice haul! I"m whupped. :D So, next weekend is IT, the crushers 
will have their equipment there on Saturday, but won't start til Monday, so 
still have time to buy a whole vehicle, or just parts off of it. Doubt I'll 
buy anything more, though. Need to ditch some cars myself.
